Chelsea’s Cole Palmer is facing a three-week layoff after suffering a setback with his groin injury. The 23-year-old midfielder returned to action too soon, making an appearance in only three matches this season, scoring one goal in the Premier League.
Palmer’s latest injury occurred just 21 minutes into the game against Manchester United, where Chelsea lost 1-2. His premature return has now cost him valuable playing time, as he will be sidelined until mid-October.
Blues coach Enzo Maresca announced in a press conference that the team decided to take precautions with Palmer’s health, opting to rest him to avoid aggravating the injury. “We want him to recover 100% before returning,” Maresca stated.
