Two more Chelsea stars return to training after Nicolas Jackson injury boost
Enzo Maresca has hande yet more good news ahead of Chelsea’s clash with Tottenham, with Cole Palmer and Noni Madueke picture in training on Friday.
Palmer misse the 1-0 loss to Arsenal with a โปรโมชั่นพิเศษจาก UFABET สมัครตอนนี้ รับโบนัสทันที hamstring problem and the injury meant Chelsea’s star man could play no part in England’s World Cup qualifying wins over Albania and Latvia.
The 22-year-old attacker, Chelsea’s top scorer with 14 goals this season, had also struggling with an illness prior to his muscle issue.
Madueke, 23, meanwhile, has sideline with a thigh injury, meaning he has misse the Blues last six matches in all competitions.
But the England duo were spotte training as usual out on the grass at Cobham, along with Nicolas Jackson, 23, who also looks to be closing in on his return to full fitness.
Jackson was seen training for the first time just a day earlier having misse eight games – across three months of action – with a thigh problem.
There are hopes all three forwards could have a role to play against Spurs next Thursday at Stamford Bridge, where Maresca’s men will look to return to winning ways after their previous derby London defeat to Arsenal.
Palmer, last year’s PFA Young Player of the Season, will no doubt be itching to return to the fold. After what has his most frustrating spell in a Chelsea shirt to date.
While the former Manchester City man has nothing short of a revelation since arriving in London, he has failed to hit the back of the net in his last ten matches in all competitions.
Maresca suggeste some time off could actually be a blessing in disguise when aske for an update on Palmer prior to the international break.
‘We don’t wish players injury, but probably in Cole’s case in this moment it will give him some rest. Physically and mentally, it could be good,’ the Chelsea head coach told reporters.
Despite his recent barren spell, only five players have outscore Palmer (14) in the Premier League this term, namely Bryan Mbeumo (15), Chris Wood (18), Alexander Isak (19), Eling Haaland (21) and Mohamed Salah (27).
Palmer has also notche six assists in the English top flight this season for fourth-place Chelsea, who hold a narrow one-point advantage over Manchester City in fifth.
