Worrying news has emerged from Chelsea’s treatment room as the team prepares for a crucial clash against Brighton. Head coach Liam Rosenior confirmed that attacking midfielder Cole Palmer and forward João Pedro will miss the upcoming match due to injuries.
Palmer has been diagnosed with a minor hamstring injury, while João Pedro is still in recovery from a hip problem. This situation raises concerns among Chelsea fans, as the absence of these two attacking leaders may significantly impact the team’s performance as the season nears its end.
This season, Palmer has made 28 appearances for Chelsea, scoring 10 goals and providing 3 assists. However, his recurring fitness issues have sparked fears that he could miss the upcoming World Cup.
Currently, Chelsea is positioned 6th in the Premier League, holding 48 points from 33 matches.
