Palmer out for six weeks
Cole Palmer has been ruled out of action for six weeks, Chelsea manager Enzo Maresca said on Friday.
The England midfielder has not played since Chelsea’s 2-1 defeat to Manchester United on September 20 – when he was subbed off midway through the first half.
Maresca initially said he hoped Palmer, 23, would return after this month’s international break.
«I was wrong. Unfortunately, he probably has to be out for another six weeks. So yeah, this is the update,» he said.
The Italian said he was confident the attacker would not require surgery.
“We are trying to protect Cole as much as possible and the most important thing is that he is fully recovered when he comes back,” he added.
Maresca, whose team play Nottingham Forest on Saturday, said replacing “one of the best players in the Premier League” was difficult.
“We definitely have to find another solution, we have to find other skills because we don’t have another player like Cole,” he said. “Because Cole is unique.”
