Cole Palmer Returns to Chelsea Training Ahead of Crucial Tottenham Clash

Cole Palmer has returned to Chelsea’s training sessions, offering a significant boost to the squad following his two-week absence due to a hamstring injury.

The 22-year-old missed the club’s recent 1-0 defeat against Arsenal and was also unable to participate in England’s international fixtures during the break. However, he rejoined his teammates at Cobham today, strengthening Chelsea’s preparations for the upcoming fixtures.  

His return eases concerns ahead of Chelsea’s crucial Premier League clash against Tottenham Hotspur at Stamford Bridge on April 3. In addition to Palmer, forwards Nicolas Jackson and Noni Madueke have also resumed training after recovering from hamstring injuries, giving head coach Enzo Maresca more attacking options. The only players still unavailable are Marc Guiu, who is sidelined with a thigh injury, and Mykhailo Mudryk, who remains suspended following a failed drugs test.  

Palmer’s comeback is particularly timely, considering Chelsea’s recent struggles in front of goal and his role as the club’s top scorer this season. Although he has not found the net in his last nine appearances, his presence in the squad is expected to provide a much-needed attacking boost as Chelsea prepares for a series of key matches.
