"Palmer will be desperate to get back to action, especially with time running out for him to stake a claim in Thomas Tuchel's England plans. The Three Lions boss has shown a willingness to reward those players who are featuring week in, week out for their clubs so far, and the 23-year-old will have to fix up and look sharp (pardon the pun) if he wants to be included on that plane journey to the USA in the summer."
""We don't know when, but for sure it will be soon," Maresca told a news conference on Monday. "He's already on the pitch, he's already touching the ball and the feeling is good.

Cole Palmer, 23, has been out of action since September, last featuring in Chelsea's 2-1 defeat at Old Trafford. He has been spotted training with the first team at Cobham and is participating in ball work, though no return date has been confirmed. Palmer has made only four appearances this season, increasing urgency to regain fitness to press for a place in England's summer plans and a potentially expanded World Cup squad. Enzo Maresca said Palmer is close and feeling good on the pitch, but cautioned that playing against Arsenal may be too soon given upcoming Champions League commitments.
