Chelsea boss, Enzo Maresca, has updated the situation of Cole Palmer’s injuries after the early withdrawal of the match striker against Manchester United in Old Trafford.
The 23 -year -old Chelsea star had to leave the field early against United after Maresca decided to remove the international in England after a first red card taken by goalkeeper Robert Sanchez in the high -level match on Saturday.
The first moments of the match forced Maresca to make changes and to modify his tactic which finally worked against the Blues while United of Ruben Amorim managed to take the three points at the end.
Enzo Maresca provides an update on Cole Palmer injuries
Speaking after the match, Maresca explained the extent of Palmer’s injury difficulties, as fabricated by Fabrizio Romano:
“It’s a problem for a long time for him, his groin.”
“Cole was not 100% ready but he wanted to play this game … So the effort is huge but after 20 minutes, he decided that it was too much”.
Admission will raise concerns among supporters of Chelsea, especially since Palmer was at the heart of the Blues attack game.
The attacker midfielder finds his superior form and his recent displays have shown that he returns to his best again.
Chelsea needs Palmer to be 100% in shape soon
Goals against Brentford and Bayern Munich in recent matches gave the Chelsea fans hope to see Palmer in great shape, although Maresca’s team has failed to win the matches that Palmer has scored, but his form is a positive sign for the manager.
On the other hand, his fitness concerns are not and this is where Maresca must carefully manage the workload of Palmer.
The determination of Palmer to play through pain shows both his commitment and the lack of depth available to Maresca in certain positions of attack.
However, medical staff will now be responsible for carefully managing their recovery to avoid worsening the problem.
If Palmer is excluded for an important spell, it can force Chelsea to rethink their approach in upcoming matches.
