Enzo Maresca praises Joao Felix as Chelsea star comparable to Cole Palmer

Chelsea manager Enzo Maresca has praised Joao Felix, suggesting he is on the same level as Cole Palmer. This comes after Palmer's standout performance in a 3-0 win over Aston Villa, where he scored and assisted a goal. Felix has struggled for playing time, starting only once in the Premier League since returning to Chelsea. Despite his strong performances in other competitions, he remains on the sidelines as Palmer shines. Maresca emphasized the unique talents of both players, stating they can see opportunities others cannot. He noted that balancing the team is crucial, which has limited Felix's chances to play alongside Palmer and Christopher Nkunku.
