Chelsea could not earn a point against a tough Arsenal team in their recent Premier League match. They now face another difficult challenge against Aston Villa, another team aiming for the top four, on Wednesday night.
There were initial concerns about Cole Palmer, who has struggled with injuries this season, after he took a knock during the game against Arsenal. However, Chelsea manager Liam Rosenior confirmed that he is in good shape.
At a press conference before the upcoming match, Rosenior stated about Palmer:
“Cole Palmer is absolutely fine to start the game on Wednesday. He took a knock, but he is looking really good.”
This update is reassuring for Chelsea supporters. Although the current season hasn’t been stellar for Palmer, he remains a key player for the team. Under Rosenior’s leadership, both he and striker Joao Pedro have been performing at a higher level.
It’s only a matter of time before this emerging duo at Stamford Bridge, along with young talent Estevao Willian, finds their rhythm. However, they still need more game time together, which has been hindered by injuries.
