Before the game against Brighton, Chelsea coach Maresca was asked about Palmer's injury situation at a press conference. He said he thought Palmer would not need surgery.
Latest situation about Palmer's injury
- We decided to provide some protection to Palmer to prevent his injury from worsening. We decided to give him two to three weeks off before international match day to see if he can fully recover and stay 100% in shape after international match day.
Let's talk about Palmer
-I don't think he needs surgery, he needs to control pain in the groin area, which is what can happen considering the number of games.
Regarding the team's other injuries
- Adarabioyu was injured and may not recover until international match day. He had some problems with his calf. Forfana suffered a concussion against Lincoln City, and everyone else was fine. The situation is better for Ravia and Badiacile and we will see if they will be able to join tomorrow.
