Chelsea Target Cole Palmer Return for Barcelona After Two-Month Groin Layoff

The club is managing his groin issue conservatively to prevent a recurrence.

Overview

  • Enzo Maresca has said he is hopeful Palmer can take some part against Barcelona on November 25, though no decision has been made.
  • A brief appearance at Burnley on November 22 has been discussed but remains unconfirmed.
  • Palmer is expected to rejoin team training soon as he steps up his rehabilitation.
  • The 22-year-old has not played since limping off against Manchester United on September 20 and has made only four appearances this season, including two Premier League starts.
  • Chelsea stress a day-by-day approach to avoid setbacks, with a further update due at Maresca’s November 21 press conference.
