"In terms of the mixed feeling, he had a session with us, overall he was fine, but still it was a little bit painful. He was feeling some pain in his groin. It's something we need to monitor. Hopefully it won't be for the full season, but it's something that is a little bit day-by-day. You can see it is getting better and then some days it can be worse."
"Palmer's injury woes began in September, when he was forced off during Chelsea's defeat to Manchester United with a groin issue. What was initially expected to be a minor setback turned into a long-term struggle, sidelining the England international for some time. Cole Palmer has been unlucky with injuries Just as he neared a return to full fitness, Palmer suffered a freak accident at home, fracturing his toe and delaying his comeback yet again."
Cole Palmer is playing through lingering groin pain and faces ongoing fitness uncertainty. The groin issue began in September when he was forced off against Manchester United and later evolved into a long-term problem. A subsequent toe fracture at home delayed his comeback further. Recovery has been inconsistent, with pain fluctuating day-to-day; he played half an hour after the Leeds match and one hour after Bournemouth. Medical staff are monitoring the situation closely, and Palmer currently cannot start every game. Partial returns still offer a useful creative option as Chelsea enter a run of crucial fixtures. The club hopes the issue will not persist for the full season.
