Cole Palmer: Chelsea forward's groin injury makes no 'sense', says Enzo Maresca

Cole Palmer faces ongoing groin pain managed cautiously by Chelsea, limiting him to six appearances and no full matches since September, ahead of the Everton game.

  • On Friday, Chelsea manager Enzo Maresca said Cole Palmer is available at the moment and fit to start against Everton on Saturday.
  • The comeback was hampered after Cole Palmer fractured his toe at home last month, delaying his return from a groin injury that sidelined him over 10 weeks since September.
  • After his Leeds cameo, Maresca revealed Palmer felt 'completely bad' the day after and played only half an hour, with six appearances this season and no full 90-minute outings since September.
  • Maresca added that Chelsea medical staff are monitoring Cole Palmer day by day and not discussing surgery, noting he cannot play three 90-minute games in a week.
  • Maresca warned that patience is needed as England manager Thomas Tuchel hopes to pick Palmer in his 26-man squad despite just 65 minutes in one qualifier.
