Chelsea manager Enzo Maresca has announced a recent update on Cole Palmer. The update will be done before the weekend’s London derby against Arsenal.
COLE PALMER FOR THE BIG MATCH
The Blues will host Mikel Arteta’s side at Stanford Bridge. They will aim to secure a huge victory and win a securing position in the Premier League.
Palmer couldn’t play against Noah in the Conference League, yet he witnessed his squad’s huge 8-0 victory. He and the rest of the Chelsea squad reconvene at Cobham as the focus shifts to Arsenal. Manager Enzo Maresca is hopeful to see the young lad involved in the present training sessions.
They hope Cole Palmer’s injury does not affect them for the derby. Maresca stated that in the past five games, he has not changed his starting XI. The Blues, having alternatives still prefer the starting players in the upcoming fixture.
COLE PALMER’S INJURY CAN BE CONCERNING
Chelsea might not be facing any injury scenarios. But, it can be concerning if certain players can be now that the international break is coming. Cole Palmer and other English player’s performances are still questionable. Even after the win against Noah in the Conference League, Cole Palmer has reduced attending the training sessions.
But it is concerning as Palmer received a high-end challenge from Lisandro Martinez. Due to that reason, he was not included in their matchday against Noah. Though, he was there to cheer for his teammates.
Though Enzo is confident about his squad. He states that at this moment, they are quite lucky to have no injuries. The management has to carefully manage the entire squad. Cole Palmer has been a good player this season for the Blues. So, the fans will be concerned about his injury before the big match on Sunday.
It is to be believed that the Blues are trying to protect the players for the long-term run. Chelsea is thinking of having the same starting XI.
INTERNATIONAL BREAK ON THE WAY
Now that the international break is on its way, many clubs will be tense. Many players will play for the World Cup qualifiers and other Qualifiers. Some will be lucky enough, others not so much.
Chelsea by far is having an above-average season, with the position being in the top 5. Now that the international break is there, they have to be ready. As mentioned, Cole Palmer, Colwill, and Madueke have retained their spots in the England squad.
While the 22-year-old is trying to recover in time, Enzo Maresca is somewhat doubting his presence. The London derby might be the turning point for Chelsea if it can be overturned. Maresca’s Chelsea, who are tied with Arteta’s Arsenal is aiming for those 3 crucial points to stay in this competition.
But it is said that Palmer is getting better. The big clash would not be a problem for Palmer. But, the international breaks call upon him. Moreover, international friendlies can be problematic for a long season in club football.
The England team might be needy with those young lads with the UEFA Nations League facing Greece and Ireland. Chelsea will face Leicester and Aston Villa in their next fixtures. Palmer’s impressive start in the campaign will be required. Both Arsenal and Chelsea are facing injury problems at this moment.
This match will not only impact the Premier League but also going to be a final test before the international break. England has therefore called up Declan Rice and Cole Palmer for their upcoming Nations League fixtures.
Chelsea and Arsenal fans will be curious about their upcoming Titan clash with the injuries in mind.
