US EditionCole Palmer’s Chelsea future in doubt as Manchester United interest grows
Coach Liam Rosenior says Chelsea is managing Palmer's recovery carefully after injuries and confirms he is central to the club's long-term plans.
- On Sunday, Chelsea head coach Liam Rosenior said Cole Palmer appears very happy at Stamford Bridge while addressing Manchester United links at his pre-match press conference.
- After joining from Manchester City, Palmer signed a seven-year contract following limited minutes under Pep Guardiola, and shortly after leaving Wythenshawe for west London he rose to England recognition.
- Plagued by a groin problem, Palmer's campaign suffered after being rushed back from treatment, causing visible frustration during the Brentford game as Chelsea medical staff managed his pain.
- To protect his welfare, Rosenior has rotated the squad and omitted Palmer from the last game; Palmer is expected to return at Selhurst Park on Sunday.
- Amid transfer speculation linking him to Manchester United, reports say Palmer is homesick and club officials clashed with Enzo Maresca over rushing injured players, prompting Rosenior to follow Chelsea's medical guidance.
