Chelsea’s playmaker, Cole Palmer, has given a positive update on his fitness following a minor injury scare during their recent UEFA Conference League play-off match. Palmer, who played a key role in Chelsea’s 2-0 win over Servette, experienced some discomfort after the game, raising concerns about his availability for the upcoming Premier League clash.
Palmer entered the game during the second half, contributing to Chelsea’s strong performance in the first leg of their play-off. However, as the match concluded, Palmer was seen holding his hamstring, which led to some worry among fans and staff. Despite the concern, Palmer managed to finish the game, though his exit was closely monitored by the club’s medical team.
After the match, Palmer spoke to reporters in the mixed-zone, offering reassurance about his condition. When asked about his injury, he said, “All good, I’m fine.” This comment suggests that the issue may not be as severe as initially feared.
The real test will come in the days leading up to Chelsea’s next Premier League fixture. The team is set to face Wolves this weekend, and Palmer’s participation remains uncertain.
Chelsea has had a challenging start to the Premier League season, having lost their opening game 2-0 at home to reigning champions Manchester City.
