Victim of a relapse to the groin, in terms of adductors, Cole Palmer risked several weeks of absence according to the British media. Information confirmed by Enzo Maresca this Friday at a press conference. The Italian said that his player would be at rest for 2 to 3 weeks, which means that the gathering of the English selection will therefore be missing. The Three Lions will challenge Wales in friendly on October 9, and Latvia, five days later, as part of the 2026 World Cup qualifications.
“We decided to protect a little Cole, to prevent his injury from getting worse. We made the decision to leave him at rest for the next two or three weeks until the international break, just to see if thanks to this rest, he can recover 100 %”said the Blues coach.
