Barcelona must win at Stamford Bridge to preserve realistic Top‑8 Champions League hopes and fix defensive frailties against Chelsea.
As reported by Mundo Deportivo, Chelsea star Cole Palmer has been ruled out for the next six weeks and will miss the Champions League fixture against Barcelona scheduled for November 25 at Stamford Bridge. The 23-year-old Englishman picked up a groin injury during Chelsea's clash with Manchester United on September 20. Initial assessments suggested he would be sidelined for about a month and a half, but manager Enzo Maresca has now confirmed that Palmer's recovery will take longer than expected.
