Palmer Misses Chelsea's Champions League Clash with Atalanta
Chelsea manager Enzo Maresca is managing Cole Palmer's return from injury by resting him to avoid playing two matches in three days, ensuring fitness for upcoming fixtures.
- On Tuesday night Chelsea FC omitted Cole Palmer, England forward, from their squad and he did not travel to Bergamo for the Champions League clash with Atalanta.
- Because he is on a managed recovery, Palmer recently returned from an injury layoff over two months involving a recurring groin problem and a fractured toe from a domestic accident.
- Maresca said, `Cole is in part of his process in this moment. He's not available, he can't play two games in a row in three days,` omitting him for Tuesday's trip to protect his fitness.
- Saved for Saturday's league match, Chelsea omitted Palmer to protect him and planned to save him for Everton amid a busy festive schedule with four Premier League matches and a Carabao Cup quarter-final.
- With group standings tight, Enzo Maresca confirmed Reece James and Wesley Fofana have had managed minutes but both travelled to Italy and are available as Chelsea sit seventh after five group games.
