"Cole Palmer is available for Chelsea's Premier League top of the table meeting with Arsenal, Enzo Maresca said on Friday, with the midfielder's return providing a boost as the Blues look to close a six-point gap on their London rivals at the top of the table. The 23-year-old England international stubbed his toe on a door, fracturing it and further delaying his return after a groin injury had already limited his availability this season. He is available to start and to play, Maresca said."
"Everyone is happy. Palmer has made only four appearances for Chelsea across all competitions this campaign, scoring twice. Since joining from Manchester City in 2023, he has recorded 45 goals and 29 assists in 101 matches for the Blues. He is our best player, we are happy he is back, we need to give him time to be 100% fit. He has done fantastic in the past and no doubt he is going to do very good for this club in the future, Maresca said."
Cole Palmer is available to start in Chelsea's Premier League match with Arsenal after recovering from a fractured toe that followed a groin injury. Palmer has made four appearances this season, scoring twice, and has 45 goals and 29 assists in 101 matches since joining from Manchester City in 2023. Everton had an appeal rejected against Idrissa Gueye's red card for slapping teammate Michael Keane, so the midfielder must serve a three-match ban and will miss the upcoming match against Newcastle. Gueye apologised and featured in light-hearted training interactions with Keane afterward.
