Palmer (groin) is still not training with the squad as the medical staff are taking it day by day with the playmaker, coach Enzo Maresca said in a press conference, according to Football London. "We hope so but with Cole, we try to schedule the beginning and then we need to review that. We go day by day with Cole. He is not taking any sessions with the team."

Essugo (thigh) could return at best by late December, coach Enzo Maresca said in the press conference, according to Football London. "He's still out for a while, probably we need to wait but maybe December or January."

Badiashile (strain) could be back after the international break, coach Enzo Maresca said in the press conference, according to Football London. "We have Benoit Badiashile that can probably be available after the international break and for us, that is huge news."

Neto (undisclosed) was forced off late in Saturday's 1-0 win over Tottenham due to apparent cramps that may have developed into a more serious issue since he wasn't spotted in team training on Tuesday and is ruled out for Wednesday's Champions League clash against Qarabag, coach Enzo Maresca said in the press conference, according to Football London. "Not a problem, just a small issue. We will try to protect him. He is not involved in tomorrow's game."

Neto recorded three shots (two on goal), three crosses (one accurate) and two corners in Saturday's 1-0 win against Tottenham Hotspur.
