Cole Palmer is fit and available for selection ahead of Arsenal’s trip to Chelsea this Sunday, according to Chelsea head coach Enzo Maresca. Maresca told media that Palmer could both start and play in the match — a significant boost after weeks out due to injury.
Palmer’s return comes after a groin problem and a fractured toe — the latter sustained during a home accident that initially ruled him out of recent matches. He has since resumed training, even wearing a specially adapted protective boot to facilitate recovery.
Maresca has stressed the importance of giving Palmer time to regain full match sharpness, but confirmed that his return will reinforce Chelsea’s attacking options at Stamford Bridge. The mood in the squad is reportedly upbeat after confirming his availability, with teammates welcoming the return of one of their most creative players.
The Chelsea-Arsenal fixture looms large, with league positioning at stake. Having Palmer back could prove pivotal — offering Chelsea a much-needed creative spark and goal threat when they aim to close the gap on league leaders.
