Chelsea playmaker Cole Palmer recently withdrew from the England national team squad due to an ongoing fitness issue. This decision cast doubt over his availability for the Blues' upcoming Premier League fixtures. However, Chelsea manager Enzo Maresca has reassured fans that the club is satisfied with Palmer's health and progress.
Despite Palmer's absence from international duty, Maresca remains optimistic about his fitness. The Italian manager has stated that the club is "happy with the way Cole Palmer is" and that there are no major concerns regarding his health. This positive outlook suggests that Palmer could be ready to contribute to Chelsea's Premier League campaign sooner rather than later.
Chelsea manager, Enzo Maresca, said:
"He is fit, fine and we are happy with the way he is." Palmer remains Chelsea's go-to man and is one of the few guaranteed starters as the players adapt to a new style and a new regime.
Palmer's impact on Chelsea's season
Cole Palmer has played a crucial role in Chelsea's limited success this season. His contributions have been instrumental in securing important victories, such as the impressive win over Wolverhampton Wanderers. As Chelsea aim to climb the Premier League table, Palmer's continued fitness and form will be vital.
Chelsea's recent acquisition of Jadon Sancho from Manchester United has bolstered their attacking options. The talented winger, who showcased his abilities at Borussia Dortmund, is eager to rediscover his best form. While Sancho has yet to make his debut for Chelsea, his potential impact on the team cannot be underestimated.
As Chelsea prepare to face Bournemouth in their next Premier League match, Maresca will be keen to field a strong and competitive team. The clash against the Cherries presents an opportunity for both Palmer and Sancho to make their mark and contribute to the team's success.
