Chelsea star man, Cole Palmer has revealed something a bit worrying for fans of the club as he claimed that he is still dealing with injury, Softfootball reports.
The England international scored the first goal as Chelsea beat Everton at Stamford Bridge in the Match-Day 16 of the Premier League and the result kept Chelsea in fourth position with 28 points.
Speaking after the encounter during an interview shared by football expert, Fabrizio Romano via his official X handle. Palmer said:
I wouldn’t say I’m at my best yet. I’m still dealing with an injury. Hopefully it gets better and better but there’s still a bit to go. It is getting better. It’s just a matter of not doing too much too soon, told MOTD.
Chelsea manager, Enzo Maresca, who recently won the manager of the month trusted Palmer to start against the Toffees after resting him during the midweek UEFA Champions League and he didn’t disappoint as he too charge of the midfield and gave the Blues the lead in the 21st minute.
It was a strong performance from Chelsea and they found the second goal through France international, Malo Gusto just before half-time. It was a goal that assured them of victory against the stubborn Everton side that already won away to Manchester United and Bournemouth.
Chelsea will return to action on Tuesday, when they face Championship side, Cardiff in the quarter-final of the Carabao Cup before traveling to Saint James’ Park to play Newcastle United on Saturday in the Match-Day 17 of the premier league.
