Cole Palmer’s toe injury has healed. Chelsea will start the important Premier League match against Arsenal. Coach Enso Maresca is very happy to have the team’s ‘best player’.
Palmer was close to returning to the field after recovering from a groin injury. But in the meantime, he suffered a new injury. He accidentally hit a door and ‘broke’ his left toe.
As a result, the 23-year-old Palmer could not play against Burnley in the Premier League and Barcelona in the Champions League. Chelsea won both matches.
Palmer has been suffering a lot from injuries this season. So far, he has only been able to play 4 matches in all competitions.
Chelsea will face Arsenal next Sunday. Maresca was excited to have one of the team’s most important players in the London derby.
“He is ready to play in the starting XI. Everyone is happy, his teammates are happy, we are all happy and the most important thing is that Cole (Palmer) is happy, because a footballer wants to play and wants to do training sessions every day.”
He is our best player, we are happy that he is back. We should give him time to be 100% fit. He has played brilliantly in the past and he will undoubtedly do very well for this club in the future.”
The match will start at 10:30 pm Bangladesh time on Sunday at Chelsea’s Stamford Bridge.
Chelsea are second only to Arsenal in the Premier League table, with 23 points from 12 matches. Arsenal are at the top with 29 points.
