Where is Cole Palmer?! Chelsea continue to sweat on talisman’s injury ahead of Premier League return against Brentford

Maresca was asked about Palmer before the Fulham win and admitted the club is having to monitor the forward’s situation closely. “Cole, we need to see day by day,” he explained, offering little in the way of certainty. The 23-year-old himself gave a cryptic but hopeful message on social media, posting a brief update that simply read: “Back soon.”
