Chelsea midfielder Cole Palmer is expected to be sidelined for at least three weeks after sustaining a muscle injury during training.
This injury led to his absence in Chelsea’s recent 1-0 defeat to Arsenal. Manager Enzo Maresca confirmed that Palmer will undergo a scan to assess the severity of the injury and expressed hope for his return in the upcoming match against Tottenham Hotspur.
Palmer’s injury also means he will miss England’s World Cup qualifiers against Albania and Latvia. In his place, Nottingham Forest’s Morgan Gibbs-White has been called up to the national squad.
This development presents a challenge for England’s new head coach, Thomas Tuchel, as he navigates his inaugural matches without one of his key players.
Chelsea has been dealing with multiple injuries among their attacking players, including Nicolas Jackson and Noni Madueke.
The team hopes that the international break will provide an opportunity for these players to recover and strengthen the squad ahead of future fixtures.
Palmer has been a significant contributor to Chelsea this season, and his absence will be felt both at the club and national levels.
Fans and teammates alike are hopeful for his swift recovery and return to the pitch.
