LONDON, Oct 17 — Chelsea midfielder Cole Palmer will be sidelined for another six weeks due to a groin injury, manager Enzo Maresca confirmed ahead of tomorrow’s Premier League match against Nottingham Forest.
Palmer initially picked up the injury in August but made a brief comeback, scoring in consecutive games against Brentford and Bayern Munich. However, the 23-year-old England international aggravated the problem during Chelsea’s 2-1 defeat to Manchester United on September 20.
“I was wrong about Palmer. Unfortunately, he’ll be out for another six weeks,” Maresca told reporters today. “We’re trying to protect Cole as much as possible. The key is for him to return fully fit.”
“The medical staff aren’t magicians. We hope six weeks will be enough, but we’ll take it step by step. He’s going to be fine,” the manager added.
“He’s calm and focused on his recovery, following all the therapy sessions.” — Reuters
