Chelsea: Good news for Cole Palmer

Cole Palmer

The best player of the 2025 Club World Cup, Cole Palmer, is set to make his return for Chelsea very soon.

Due to a fractured toe, Cole Palmer has been sidelined for Chelsea for several weeks. The Englishman is expected to be back in action very shortly, according to Blues manager Enzo Maresca—possibly as soon as next Sunday.

"Cole Palmer will be back soon. He's already out on the pitch, and the sensations are good. Will he be there against Arsenal? Let's focus on Barça for now. After that, we can start thinking about Arsenal," the Italian said at a press conference on Monday. It's worth noting that, initially, the club's medical staff did not expect Palmer to be ready for the clash against the Gunners.
