Captain James and Cole Palmer both trained in Cobham on Wednesday. James was sick against Leicester at the weekend, but now seems fit, while Palmer also played in the middle of a blues camp on this day, but played in the game and missed a penalty.
On Wednesday afternoon, Maresca said: “Cole, Reece and Christopher [Nkunku] were at the session. They weren’t there yesterday. Today they were all here and are all back.
“Yesterday they weren’t even here [at the training ground]All of them. Today they trained with us. We will see tomorrow if we want to use it. “

Malo Gusto will not be involved after missing the Leicester game after being forced early in the first leg against Copenhagen.
