"Cole Palmer has been struggling with an ongoing groin injury and there will certainly be discussions within Chelsea with regards to the best course of action to take and how best to manage him," began Dinnery. Behind the scenes they'll be weighing up whether it is best just to have him out for two to three weeks, see how he responds to that and bring him back after the next international break, as opposed to going straight to surgery and potentially ruling him out for three months."
"The England international is struggling with a continuing groin injury he sustained earlier this season and last featured for Enzo Maresca during his side's 2-1 defeat against Manchester United last month. Palmer, who has 45 goals and 29 assists to his name at the club, is seen as one of Chelsea's most influential attacking players and having him out of the side until the festive period would come as a huge blow."
Cole Palmer faces a potential extended layoff because of a persistent groin injury sustained earlier this season. He last appeared in Chelsea's 2-1 defeat to Manchester United and will not be available until after the October international break. Medical staff are weighing conservative rest and monitoring against immediate surgery, with a short-term absence of two to three weeks versus surgery that could sideline him for around three months. Injury expert Ben Dinnery warns he could be out until at least Christmas if the issue persists. Palmer has 45 goals and 29 assists for Chelsea and his absence would significantly weaken the attack.
