Cole Palmer was ruled out of Chelsea’s clash with West Ham after suffering a groin injury during the warmup. The England international had been struggling with discomfort for several days and was replaced by Estêvão minutes before kickoff.
“He tried again tonight, but it was not very good,” said Maresca. “We didn’t want to take any risks.”
Palmer’s absence didn’t derail Chelsea, who cruised to a 5–1 win. But with a packed schedule ahead, fans will be hoping the injury isn’t serious.
