Chelsea's star Cole Palmer will be sidelined for another six weeks due to a groin injury, confirmed head coach Enzo Maresca. Initially expected to return after the October international break, Palmer's absence has been extended. The 23-year-old England forward aggravated his condition during Chelsea's loss to Manchester United in September. Chelsea has had a shaky start to the season, amassing 11 points from their first seven league matches, with one win and one loss in the Champions League. Injuries are piling up for Chelsea, with Moises Caicedo, Enzo Fernandez, and Joao Pedro also doubtful, and Benoit Badiashile out until December. Upcoming matches against Nottingham Forest, Sunderland, Tottenham, and Wolves will test Chelsea's depth as they aim to climb the standings.
