Cole Palmer’s availability for Chelsea’s match against Arsenal is in question due to an injury he sustained while playing for the England U-21 team.
The captain of the England U-21 squad suffered a thigh injury during their 9-1 victory over Serbia in a Euro qualifier. During the second half of the match, he reported a dead leg, which prompted manager Lee Carsley to substitute him.
“There are a few bumps and bruises and we will monitor Cole, but we will not be taking any chances,” Carsley told reporters after the match.
Cole Palmer has become a key player in Mauricio Pochettino’s team, and the Argentine manager is surely hoping for a swift recovery from his injury.
With Palmer in the lineup, Chelsea has achieved three consecutive wins, a notable improvement for the season. He even scored a goal in the 4-1 victory against Burnley, and Chelsea fans are eager to see him return to fitness before the crucial match against Arsenal.
To aid his recovery, Palmer will be absent from the upcoming Euro qualifier against Ukraine on Monday, with the aim of regaining fitness for the Premier League clash against Arsenal on October 21.
