Uncertainty Over Cole Palmer’s Fitness Creates Major Concern for Chelsea

Chelsea are facing a crucial period as uncertainty grows around the fitness of star midfielder Cole Palmer. His availability is now considered critical ahead of the club’s upcoming clash with Barcelona.

Despite several weeks without competitive action, Chelsea remain hopeful that Palmer could still feature — even if only for a short appearance.

According to the club, players of Palmer’s quality have the ability to “change a game in one action”, making even a few minutes on the pitch potentially decisive.

The Blues continue to monitor his recovery closely, with internal optimism that he will be ready for the Barça match.
