Cole Palmer

Palmer (toe) is on the bench for Sunday's match against Arsenal.

Palmer (groin and toe) is available to both play and start in Sunday's clash against Arsenal, coach Enzo Maresca said in the press conference. 'Yes, Cole is available for both [to play and to start]."

Palmer (groin and toe) is feeling good as he was spotted back in training with the ball while wearing a protective boot, but he will likely return in December, coach Enzo Maresca said in the press conference. "Yes, Cole is wearing a [protective] boot. We don't know when he will be back but for sure it will be soon. He's already on the pitch, he's already touching the ball and the feeling [for him] is good. At the moment, we are only looking at tomorrow's game. It's a Champions League game against Barcelona, that is our focus and then we will look ahead to Arsenal. I don't think he will be available for these two games, but he is doing well."

Palmer (groin and toe) is ruled out for the next three games due to a toe fracture, coach Enzo Maresca said in the press conference. "For sure he won't feature in this game, and for sure not for Barcelona or Arsenal. Unfortunately, he had an accident at home two days ago where he hit his toe. It is fractured. It's disappointing but these things can happen. It's nothing too serious but it's causing him some pain on his little toe and for sure he's not going to be available for this week or next. He was very close to being back with us from his groin issue. Which is very good but then he had this problem with his toe, which has set him back. It's nothing major but he needs a bit more time to recover."

Palmer (groin) is still not training with the squad as the medical staff are taking it day by day with the playmaker, coach Enzo Maresca said in a press conference, according to Football London. "We hope so but with Cole, we try to schedule the beginning and then we need to review that. We go day by day with Cole. He is not taking any sessions with the team."
