Cole Palmer was left out of Chelsea's Europa Conference League squad because he 'needs to be protected,' as confirmed by head coach Enzo Maresca.
Maresca emphasized that while they've played without him before, Cole is 'something extra' for the team, indicating his importance and talent.
Palmer has had an impressive start to the season, scoring four goals in a single match—something unprecedented in Premier League history.
Chelsea's ability to reconfigure their squad after January gives Palmer a chance to join in the knockout stage if the team advances.
