Cole Palmer is uncertain for England's initial matches under Thomas Tuchel after sustaining a muscle injury during training, leading him to miss Chelsea's recent defeat against Arsenal. Although he is yet to officially withdraw from the England squad ahead of World Cup qualifiers against Albania and Latvia, his absence adds to a growing injury list for Chelsea. Manager Enzo Maresca expressed hope for Palmer's recovery while also suggesting that the break could benefit his performance at Chelsea. Palmer has struggled to score recently, having gone ten games without a goal.
"I don't think so, to be honest. His injury was from yesterday's session - it's a muscle problem, so I don't think so."
"He needs a scan and the scan is planned for Monday."
"We don't wish players injured but in Cole's case, in this moment, it will give him some rest physically and mentally. It could be good."
"Chelsea are hoping that Palmer will be available after the final international break of the season."
