Cole Palmer has returned to training in time for Chelsea’s vital clash with Tottenham, with Noni Madueke and Nicolas Jackson also back to strengthen Enzo Maresca’s attacking options.
Chelsea have received a significant boost ahead of their London derby against Tottenham, with Cole Palmer returning to training after missing the Arsenal defeat due to a muscle injury. The 22-year-old, who had started every Premier League match this season prior to the setback, is joined by Noni Madueke and Nicolas Jackson in resuming training, giving Enzo Maresca the chance to field his strongest front line for the first time in weeks.
Palmer’s return comes at a crucial time, as the young playmaker has gone ten games without a goal or assist, and Maresca has suggested the enforced break may benefit him both physically and mentally. Chelsea are currently fourth but risk slipping in the table before facing Spurs, making the return of key players vital to their top-four hopes.
