Chelsea fans are buzzing with optimism as Cole Palmer is selected for England's UEFA Nations League squad, hinting at a potential return for a crucial match against Arsenal despite his recent injury troubles.
Chelsea supporters received some positive news as Cole Palmer has been selected for the England squad for this month's UEFA Nations League matches against Greece and the Republic of Ireland. Although he suffered a significant tackle from Lisandro Martinez during Chelsea's recent 1-1 draw with Manchester United, which sidelined him from training, Palmer's selection for the national team indicates that he might recover in time for the important Premier League match against Arsenal on Sunday.
Since the incident, Palmer has been unable to train, but England U21s coach Lee Carsley’s choice to include him in the squad indicates a positive outlook for his recovery. Chelsea manager Enzo Maresca addressed the situation, saying, “He hasn’t trained for the past two days. We will see. Hopefully, he can be fit. The tackle was quite clear; it was not a regular one.” Palmer’s Chelsea colleagues, Levi Colwill and Noni Madueke, will also be part of the England squad at St. George's Park, along with Arsenal’s Declan Rice, who is dealing with his own injury issues.
Palmer has played a crucial role in Chelsea's season to date, contributing seven goals and five assists while under Maresca's guidance. His involvement may be vital for Chelsea's prospects in the forthcoming match against Arsenal, with both fans and club personnel eagerly wishing for his quick recovery.
