"Cole Palmer will miss Chelsea's next four games as the forward's injury woes continue. Palmer, 23, has been out of action since the middle of September, after being subbed off during his side's 2-1 defeat against Manchester United at Old Trafford, with the England international lasting just 21 minutes. The former Manchester City man has now missed crucial games against Brighton, Benfica and Liverpool and is not expected to return until November."
"It is no surprise Palmer's body has finally given way, proving once again that the footballing schedule is continuing to take its toll on professionals at the very top. Last season, the 23-year-old played a staggering 52 games for Chelsea, with Enzo Maresca's side also going all the way in the FIFA Club World Cup in America, beating PSG to lift the trophy."
"As relayed by BBC Sport, Palmer is now expected to be out of action until November, with the Chelsea star expected to play no part in games against Nottingham Forest, Ajax, Sunderland and Wolves. The Blues' first game of next month is against Tottenham in the Premier League on November 1, and even that clash with Thomas Frank's men may come too soon for the England forward."
Cole Palmer has been sidelined since mid-September after being substituted after 21 minutes in Chelsea's 2-1 defeat at Old Trafford. The 23-year-old missed matches against Brighton, Benfica and Liverpool and is expected to miss at least four more fixtures, remaining out until November. Palmer will be unavailable for Nottingham Forest, Ajax, Sunderland and Wolves, and the Premier League trip to Tottenham on November 1 may come too soon. Palmer was omitted from Thomas Tuchel's England squad for upcoming internationals. Tuchel stressed that playing without pain is essential because groin injuries are particularly dangerous. Palmer made 52 appearances last season and featured in Chelsea's Club World Cup win.
