Chelsea coach Entso Maresco cannot say when Cole Palmer will return to practice with the team.
Chelsea footballer Cole Palmer, who is moving forward with great rhythm, is worried about injury. The English attacking midfielder’s chances of playing against Wolverhampton Wanderers hang in the balance. Chelsea will face Wolverhampton next Monday in the Premier League match. Entso Maresca, the coach of the Stamford Bridge club, said on Friday that they have doubts about the 22-year-old Palmer. In the 2-2 draw match against Bournemouth last Tuesday, Palmer fell into trouble in the face of the opponent’s challenge. Although he later played the entire match, he also scored a goal.
Palmer did not practice with the team on Friday due to discomfort. When he will be fit, the Chelsea coach could not say anything for sure. “They (opposing players) hurt Cole, so he couldn’t practice today. Whether he will be able to practice tomorrow, we don’t know.” “We rely on Cole because he is a big player. We want to play with Cole. But if he has an injury or another problem, I will find a solution.”
Palmar, who joined Chelsea in 2023, has played in all of the club’s 21 league matches so far this season. In addition to scoring 14 goals, he assisted in 6. Chelsea have suddenly lost their way in the Premier League, they have not won even one of the last five matches. The club is fifth in the table with 37 points from 21 matches.
