Chelsea head coach Liam Rosenior gives a positive update regarding the injured Levi Colwill, who could return before the end of the season. Rosenior also declared Cole Palmer fit to face West Ham after coming through unscathed in the victory over Napoli. TIMESTAMPS: 0:00 Intro 0:01 Priorities is to make the squad as strong as possible. I've been around long enough to know things can change very quickly in the January market. 1:37 For Axel, I am delighted. I don't like the term 'bomb squad'. They're human beings. 2:16 I want Josh [Acheampong] with me [in the Chelsea squad]. 3:06 Palmer? He came through with two assists and an outstanding performance [vs Napoli]. He's available to start [vs West Ham]. Really, really happy. 4:00 Enzo Fernandez? He's already a world class player. He's not surprised me. But it's been amazing to get to know him. He's a winner. 4:44 So far, I can't say a bad thing about them as a group. 5:43 West Ham? Nuno has put his stamp on his team. All his teams have been well organised off the ball. They've been very good in transition. Tomorrow [vs West Ham] is the biggest game of the season. I will find out so much. If you want to be a consistent winning team, these are the games you have to step forward. 7:27 It's not about how important it is for me, it's important for the club. I'm part of a team, part of a club. I don't walk away from Naples and think 'it's massive for me'. It's just a conversation about each individual and areas of the pitch where we can improve. We want a winning team. 9:02 Colwill? I spoke to him this morning. He's really good. What a professional. He's working so hard. It's been brilliant to see him back on the pitch running. 9:34 Yes [could be back before end of the season], but it's step by step. I don't want to make promises I can't keep. 10:20 For Joao [Pedro], the goals he is scoring is because he is working so hard without the ball. His performance against Napoli was incredible. He has huge potential to be a goalscorer [to score 25 goals a season], s
