US EditionChelsea Talisman Palmer Set to Miss Liverpool Game
Chelsea will rest Cole Palmer for two to three weeks to manage his recurring groin injury without surgery, aiming for full fitness after the international break, manager Enzo Maresca said.
- Chelsea will rest Cole Palmer for two-three weeks until the international break to help him recover 100%, and Enzo Maresca said there are no plans for surgery.
- Rushed back into action, Palmer's groin problem first arose in pre-season and reappeared at Manchester United, forcing him off early and prompting Chelsea medical staff to meet on his recovery.
- Despite limited game time this season, Cole Palmer has 58 goal involvements across 98 Premier League appearances and two goals this season.
- Palmer will miss Chelsea's home matches against Brighton, Benfica and Liverpool while he rests until the international break, and Enzo Maresca said `We need him, no doubt` but vowed to find solutions without him.
- Experts note surgery would be a last resort as fatigue from Chelsea's extended schedule and 55 games last season contributes to injury and rotation challenges, Stephen Smith said.
