Cole Palmer Injury: Trains Monday

Palmer (thigh) was present in Chelsea's training session Monday after being sidelined Sunday against Crystal Palace, Bobby Vincent of Mirror Sport reports.

Palmer could be an option for the midweek UCL trip to Napoli after missing the last league contest with a minor thigh issue. The talented attacker has struggled with injuries over the past few months but has produced shooting numbers whenever he's available, scoring three times over his last seven league starts. If he can play a role in the next game, he'll likely be used in the three-man attacking midfield line, pushing Enzo Fernandez to a more defensive spot and Andrey Santos to the bench.
