Cole Palmer out for six more weeks with groin injury, says Enzo Maresca
Chelsea manager Enzo Maresca said Cole Palmer will be out for six more weeks due to a groin injury. The 23-year-old has not played since September 20 after suffering a recurrence of the injury from earlier in the season. Palmer has only appeared in three Premier League matches this season, and the injury affects his chances of impressing England manager Thomas Tuchel before the World Cup.
Maresca admitted he was wrong about Palmer’s recovery timeline and confirmed he will be out until the end of November. He reassured fans that Palmer won’t need surgery and is undergoing therapy. Palmer’s absence will impact Chelsea, as Maresca described him as a unique and crucial player for the team.
Palmer will miss several key matches, including Premier League games and Champions League fixtures.
