The Blues’ key man is a major doubt for the Brighton clash, casting a shadow over a squad already struggling for goals.
Chelsea fans are holding their breath after a new injury scare for star attacker Cole Palmer. The 23-year-old was absent from training on Thursday, raising serious doubts about his availability for this weekend’s Premier League match against Brighton.
This is a frustrating setback for Palmer, who only just returned from a groin problem. After featuring in the draw with Brentford, he was substituted early in last weekend’s defeat to Manchester United, and the issue now appears to have flared up again.
His potential absence is a significant blow for manager Enzo Marescia. Palmer quickly became a crucial source of goals for the team last season, and Chelsea’s reliance on him was starkly evident during a laboured midweek performance. The team seriously struggled to break down League One side Lincoln City in the Carabao Cup, only narrowly securing a win without their influential playmaker.
All eyes will now be on Palmer’s fitness ahead of the Saturday kickoff, with the club desperately hoping their key man can recover in time to face a tough Brighton side.
