STUBBED TOE STOPS COLE PALMER'S RETURN DELAYED AGAIN
Chelsea's Cole Palmer has suffered a new injury setback, ruling him out against Burnley and likely for the crucial fixtures against Barcelona and Arsenal, manager Enzo Maresca has confirmed.
Chelsea's coach, Enzo Maresca, has verified Cole Palmer's injury, and it looks like he will not play in the upcoming big matches with teams such as Barcelona and Arsenal.
Maresca spoke about many things in his talk with reporters this morning before the Blues' early game against Burnley in the Premier League on Saturday.
Palmer got hurt in an accident at his house, so he will not be back on Saturday and will probably not play in Chelsea's next games with Barcelona and Arsenal either.
You can see the update on Palmer's injury that Maresca gave at his news conference earlier today right here.
Even though Chelsea has done quite well without Palmer up to this point, the West London team's supporters will not be very happy to hear this news because Palmer is definitely a very important player for the team.
Cole Palmer's injury problems during this season. Palmer has not played for Chelsea since he had to leave the game because of an injury during the team's 2-1 loss to Manchester United away from home at the end of September.
At the beginning, people thought that the player from England would be back soon, but Maresca said that it would actually take another six weeks.
After hurting his toe at his house, it seems like Palmer's injury has gotten worse again, which will make him wait even longer to play with the first team again.
Palmer's first problem was a pulled muscle in his groin that he got during that loss at Old Trafford, and he will definitely be sad that he has a second, different problem that will delay his return.
Maresca has other good choices for attacking players, such as Esteva,o Willian, Pedro Neto, and Alejandro Garnacho, but none of them are as good as Palmer when he is healthy and playing his best.
