- Palmer got injured against Serbia
- Lee Carsley had to take him off
- Doubtful for Arsenal clash
WHAT HAPPENED? The England U-21 captain suffered a thigh injury during England‘s 9-1 triumph against Serbia in a Euro qualifier. He complained of a dead leg during the second half of the game, forcing manager Lee Carsley to take him off.
“There are a few bumps and bruises, and we will monitor Cole, but we will not be taking any chances,” Carsley told reporters after the game.
THE BIGGER PICTURE: Palmer has established himself as an important member of Mauricio Pochettino’s squad, and the Argentine boss will be hoping that his injury won’t keep him out for too long. With Palmer in the lineup, the Blues have won three consecutive games for the first time this season. He even scored against Burnley in the 4-1 victory, and Chelsea fans would like to see him get back in shape before the key match against Arsenal.
