Chelsea head coach Enzo Maresca has offered an update on Cole Palmer's injury following a contentious challenge by Manchester United’s Lisandro Martinez in their recent 1-1 Premier League draw. 
Palmer, who has quickly become a vital asset for Chelsea since joining in 2023, sustained the injury in the game’s final moments, raising concerns about his availability for upcoming matches.
Addressing the situation in a press conference, Maresca did not hide his apprehension over the nature of the tackle. He remarked, “The challenge was quite clear; it was not a normal one.” He added that Palmer had missed training yesterday, emphasizing, “We will see today if he is able to train with us. We hope so, but we have to wait and see.” This uncertainty over Palmer’s recovery has left Chelsea fans anxious about his return, especially with significant games approaching.
Chelsea’s schedule next brings them to a UEFA Conference League clash against Armenian side FC Noah on Thursday, November 7, 2024, at Stamford Bridge. This match marks Chelsea's first encounter with an Armenian club in a competitive setting, and the team is eager to secure a decisive victory.
Following this midweek fixture, Chelsea will face a crucial Premier League showdown against Arsenal on Sunday, November 10, 2024.
This match, the last before the November international break, is particularly significant, as Chelsea will look to maintain momentum against their London rivals.
Fans are hopeful for Palmer’s swift recovery to boost their squad’s strength for this pivotal encounter.
