Cole Palmer back in Chelsea training, maybe

The international break is winding down and Chelsea are gearing back up for some proper football, and according to reports, among those back in training at Cobham is none other than Cole Palmer. Palmer had missed our last two games with a groin concern, but it sounds like he might be back as soon as this weekend, when we make the short trip out to Brentford for a classic Saturday afternoon 3pm showdown.

While Palmer was not spotted in any of the limited number of pictures Chelsea released via official channels of training this week, various reports have claimed that our talisman was actually a participant and was just carefully cropped or blurred out. The Telegraph’s Matt Law has also reported via the London Is Blue Podcast that Palmer “should” be fine for this weekend, and the concern is really just a precaution (though a precaution that has caused him to miss two games and an England call-up, so not much “pre” in that pre-caution).

In any case, it’s good news either way, which is certainly welcome given the various other injury news in this international break.
