Palmer doubtful to face Wolves with ankle injury

Cole Palmer is a doubt for Chelsea's upcoming match against Wolves after injuring his ankle in a 2-2 draw with Bournemouth.

The 22-year-old forward, Chelsea's top scorer this season with 14 Premier League goals, missed training on Friday. Manager Enzo Maresca confirmed that Palmer, along with Enzo Fernandez, Romeo Lavia, and Levi Colwill, were all absent from the session due to injuries.

Palmer has been a standout since joining Chelsea in September 2023, contributing to 53 goals in his first 50 Premier League appearances. Despite his uncertain availability for Monday's match, Chelsea welcomed back Trevoh Chalobah, recalling him from his loan at Crystal Palace to bolster their defensive options amidst the injury concerns.
