Liam Delap reveals talking to Palmer before Chelsea move:
โI donโt like too much information. Ultimately, it was my decision, so I kind of just wanted my head to be clear. I spoke to him a little bit, asked him what I needed to ask him. He told me what I needed to know.โ
โI love those battles. I always have, since I was a kid. I really love the aggressive side of it and the competitive nature of the sport.
Itโs got to be controlled at times but itโs my game ultimately, and I enjoy it. Iโve always had that same edge and Iโm not going to change the way my mindset is. Youโve just got to make sure youโre on the right side of the edge.โ
On Jacksonโs red card:
"You have to be aggressive, on the front foot all the time. I was right in front of it (on the bench) when it happened. It was so unlucky. He obviously didnโt mean to do it; these things happen in football and I am sure he will get over it.โ
On taking the "cursed" number 9 shirt:
"Iโm not that type of person. Itโs something that people speculate about, but it doesnโt mean anything to me.
At the end of the day, itโs a number on the back of your shirt. To me, it doesnโt really mean a lot, itโs just a number.โ

Thereโs been a change in the time and itโll now come off at 6:30pm (UK).
Enzo Maresca:
"Reece didn't train because he was ill. Levi Colwill was also ill, but he took part in the session. And Kendry is with us. He asked to spend time with us and train. We'll see what the plan is in the next few weeks."
On pressure to beat ES Tunis:
"When you are Chelsea manager you are always under pressure and we'll do our best."
"It's almost impossible to train, to make sessions because of the weather. We are just trying to save energy for the game. It's not easy with these conditions, but we are going to try to do our best."
On ES Tunis:
"I watched both games, I watch some games in their league... even against Flamengo, they were in the game until the end. For sure, it's going to be a tough game. The fans are important, but the players are going to play against each other."
"I always try to avoid excuses, I always try to be honest. It's reality. It's difficult to work with these temperatures. But we are here, and we will try to win tomorrow's game. It's impossible to do a normal session. We did the session this morning, quite short."
"Flamengo game... Cole and Enzo, on the ball, were occupying what they did during the season. Off the ball, Cole was defending a little bit more wide."
"The owners just want the best for us, and for the players, game by game. They are not talking about the final reward in terms of money. They never put pressure on us to win this tournament because of the money."
"Nico was not in the session because it's the day before the game. We just use the ones to prepare the game."
"Christo is with us. He's our player. He's doing very well in the last four, five days. For sure, tomorrow we are going to do rotation. We'll see if there is any chance for the ones that are not playing a lot."
On Marc Cucurella's workload:
"We use Malo Gusto during the season on that side. Beginning of the season, Renato Veiga. For sure, in that position, he is the only one. Reece James did a few times. We can find different solutions. Even Josh did for us..."
Thatโs all from the gaffer for nowโฆ

๐จ BREAKING: Chelsea and Manchester United are weighing up a possible scenario where Nkunku and Garnacho could go to opposite clubs.
Nkunku and Garnacho are both looking to leave their current clubs, and thereโs a chance they could switch teams, though a direct swap deal isnโt expected.
The two clubs havenโt yet had any formal discussions this summer.
Aston Villa have also shown interest in Garnacho, but he reportedly wants to stay in England and would likely be keen to join Chelsea.
Meanwhile, Borussia Dortmund believe Gittens will end up at Chelsea, even though they recently rejected a ยฃ42 million offer. Talks between the clubs are still ongoing, with a meeting expected in the U.S. during the Club World Cup.
Nkunku is a player known to Manchester Unitedโs recruitment chief, Christopher Vivell.

Christopher Nkunku is not seen as a priority for Manchester United currently but rather an option.
Alejandro Garnacho has been on Chelseaโs winger shortlist since Januay but there could be concerns over his character, given his history of United fallouts.
