After featuring at Wembley in the FA Cup semi-final defeat to his former club Man City, Palmer was then rated as unlikely to play in midweek after it emerged he had been struggling with illness and left unable to train.
Speaking in a press conference before the Arsenal game, Pochettino mentioned uncertainty around Palmer's involvement due to illness and the need for assessment to decide on his participation in upcoming matches.
Pochettino highlighted that Palmer's absence was not the sole reason behind the heavy defeat against Arsenal but acknowledged the impact of losing a creative player that helps link the team.
