Enzo Maresca announced that Cole Palmer will undergo a scan on Monday due to a muscle injury sustained during training on Saturday. As a result, he missed Chelsea's match, which ended in a 1-0 defeat to Arsenal.
Details: The head coach of the Blues noted that the player is unlikely to join England's squad for the World Cup qualifiers against Albania and Latvia this month.
The coach emphasized that the player needs to wait for the scan results to assess the extent of the injury. If the injury proves to be minor, he may return to the team after the international break for the match against Tottenham.
Reminder: Without Palmer, Chelsea delivered an extremely poor performance, marking the worst under Maresca's leadership by a key metric. The team's expected goals (xG) rate was only 0.35, the lowest in the 43 matches the Italian has managed.
