Palmer to miss Premier League match for the first time in 11 months. And again against Arsenal

On Sunday, March 16, the central match of the 29th round of the Premier League, Arsenal vs Chelsea, will take place. Both teams have some personnel losses.

Details: Quite unexpectedly, Cole Palmer was not included in the "Blues" lineup. According to the latest reports, the midfielder has a muscle injury, and thus, Enzo Maresca has given him a rest. Meanwhile, Raheem Sterling's absence from Arsenal's lineup may be due to loan agreement conditions, as his contract belongs to Chelsea.

Reminder: Chelsea also managed without Palmer during their last visit to Emirates in April 2024, but according to Transfermarkt, he had a cold. Incidentally, the 0-5 defeat to Arsenal was the last Premier League match in which the midfielder did not play. In the recent league match against Leicester, Palmer missed a penalty for the first time in his career.
