Chelsea’s top scorer, Cole Palmer, might miss the Premier League match against league leaders Arsenal on Tuesday due to illness.
Coach Mauricio Pochettino mentioned that the 21-year-old wasn’t ready during Monday’s training, and his participation will be determined by another assessment by Tuesday morning.
“Today, no (he cannot play). We will see tomorrow morning. Today, I don’t believe he can be involved.
“Even if he is good tomorrow, maybe he is not in a condition to play. We hope he can recover from this situation and be involved with the team,” he said.
Palmer’s potential absence would be a significant blow for Chelsea, given his remarkable performance this season, scoring 20 goals in the Premier League, tying with Manchester City’s Erling Haaland.
Defenders Malo Gusto and Ben Chilwell are also doubtful for the clash.
