Liam Rosenior has provided an update on Cole Palmer ahead of Chelsea's clash against Crystal Palace. The 23-year-old midfielder, whose season has been plagued by injuries, missed the Blues' win over Pafos in the UEFA Champions League on Wednesday night due to a 'little bit of tightness in his thigh'.
Speaking to reporters at Cobham on Friday afternoon, Rosenior began by providing an update on Liam Delap, Malo Gusto, and Jamie Gittens, who have each recently returned from spells on the sideline due to illness.
"In terms of sickness, the players are coming back to full health," said the Chelsea boss. "We had to be very careful with that. Thankfully the lads have come through that."
Then, on Palmer, Rosenior added: "Cole is in a good place, he joined training today which is really positive. [Filip] Jorgensen had his scan and it was positive. He won't be available for Palace but might be for Napoli."
