Cole Palmer Injury: Should be available Saturday

Palmer (thigh) should be an option for Saturday's clash against Brentford, coach Liam Rosenior said in the press conference. "Reece and Cole, both of them are training today, so we just need to assess them after the session and make sure that they come through all of the protocols that they need to come through. It would be great to have them back in the squad [for the weekend]. At the moment, it looks like they could be [involved]."

Palmer is training on Friday and should be an option for Saturday's clash against Brentford. The playmaker is carefully managed by the medical staff to avoid any risks of injuries if he is not 100 per cent fit to feature. That said, the staff is optimistic to see him play on Saturday and he should earn a starting role if he passes the late fitness call ahead of the game.
