Cole Palmer will likely be out of action until after next month’s international break to give the Chelsea midfielder time to shake off a groin problem, manager Enzo Maresca said yesterday.

The England international came off midway through the first half in Chelsea’s 2-1 defeat at Manchester United last week, their first Premier League defeat of the season.

The 23-year-old had previously missed games against West Ham and Fulham with the same issue.

Maresca told reporters that Chelsea had decided to “protect” Palmer so his injury would not get worse.
