Enzo Maresca has revealed Cole Palmer will miss Chelsea’s game against Arsenal after picking up a minor injury in training on Saturday. The

England international has started all 28 Premier League games for Chelsea this season, but was left out of the trip to the Emirates. He was

also named in Thomas Tuchel’s squad for next week’s World Cup qualifiers against Albania and Latvia.

However, Maresca has revealed the 22-year-old’s absence. From the Gunners was due to a minor injury in training, but he is expected to be available after the international break.

“He is not stuck in his room! Last week, as we know, he had an illness and unfortunately yesterday he had a very, very minor problem. We thought he would be available after the international break,” Maresca told สมัครสมาชิก UFABET วันนี้ รับเครดิตฟรีทุกวัน Sports.

Enzo Maresca has explained why Cole Palmer missed Chelsea’s 1-0 defeat at Arsenal on Sunday. Adding that he expects the midfielder to return after the international break.

Palmer had been an ever-present in Chelsea’s side this season. With the last Premier League match he missed coincidentally being their trip to Emirates Stadium last April, when they lost 5-0 to the Gunners.

Of Chelsea’s 53 goals this season, 20 have been scored or assisted by Palmer. Even if he is in the middle of a seven-match scoreless streak in the competition. Including a missed penalty last time out in the league.

“He picked up an injury in training yesterday, a light one, so we don’t think it’s a major one. But we will wait and we feel he will be back after the international break,”

and despite his seven league games without a goal, Palmer remains Chelsea’s top scorer with 14 goals and six assists.
