Worries are starting to pile up for Cole Palmer. Victim of groin problems since the start of the season, the man who returned to competition in September before returning to the infirmary (4 matches played in all competitions, 2 goals) seemed to be on the verge of returning to training, until Enzo Maresca announced the bad news this morning. He fractured his toe after a domestic accident…
‘Cole Palmer is probably unavailable for Burnley…Barcelona and Arsenal, that’s for sure’reveals the Blues coach at a press conference, discussing the schedule of the next matches. “He has a fractured toe…Cole was almost back from his groin injury, but now he has this little problem. It’s nothing serious, but he needs a little more time to recover.” His return is postponed, while the striker is particularly expected after his last season (18 goals, 14 assists in 52 games).
