Enzo Maresca reveals if Pedro Neto and Joao Felix will play against Wolves

Chelsea made two of the biggest attacking acquisitions in the Premier League this summer, signing Pedro Neto from Wolves and then Joao Felix from Atletico Madrid in two splash moves that few saw coming - especially the Felix reunion. Neto and Felix join an attack that includes Brazilian phenom Estevao Willian, also signed this summer, as well as 2023 signings Nicolas Jackson, Christopher Nkunku, and main man Cole Palmer.
