Chelsea midfielder Cole Palmer missed the match against Arsenal due to illness, continuing a stretch of poor form where he hasn't scored or assisted in ten games. Last weekend, he missed a crucial penalty against Leicester City. Despite fitness issues, Palmer remains vital as Chelsea's leading scorer and assist provider, which accounted for 38% of their Premier League goals this season. His absence in matches raises concerns, as the team historically struggles when he doesn't play, as seen last season when Chelsea suffered a heavy loss without him.
Even with these fitness struggles, Palmer was called upon for the second half of Chelsea's Conference League tie against FC Copenhagen on Thursday.

Palmer still represents a huge miss for the Blues. Of the 53 Premier League goals Chelsea have scored this term, 38% have either been converted or created by Palmer.
