Chelsea sweating on fitness of Cole Palmer for Arsenal showdown
Chelsea sweating on fitness of Cole Palmer for Arsenal showdownBy Robert O'Connor, PACole Palmer is a doubt for Chelsea’s Premier League game against Arsenal on Sunday after limping out of Old Trafford at the weekend with a knee injury. Palmer has not trained since the incident, which occurred in stoppage time and earned Martinez a yellow card, and he is not eligible for Thursday’s Conference League game at home to FC Noah. “He didn’t train (Tuesday), we’ll see today if he is able to train with us,” said Maresca. “I would like to give him more minutes in the Premier League but we need defensive balance and we cannot play with Joao, Cole, Christo (Christopher Nkunku). They all deserve more chances in the Premier League but we have more players that deserve that.”
