His latest goalless outing came in Tuesday’s emphatic 4-0 victory over struggling Southampton, a result that lifted Chelsea back into the top four.
Despite Palmer missing several clear chances, four of his teammates found the scoresheet to secure the win.
Maresca, however, remains unfazed by Palmer’s drought, insisting the club is “happy” with his performances and encouraging the young forward to stay positive.

“He has to continue to work, continue to be happy, continue to laugh the way he does,” Maresca told BBC Match of the Day.
