Chelsea boss Rosenior gives injury update before next league match | OneFootball

This Sunday, Chelsea returns to the field to face Crystal Palace away from home. The Blues’ coach, Liam Rosenior, hopes to have reinforcements for the next match in the English Championship.

The Champions League match this Wednesday, against Pafos, featured the important absence of Cole Palmer. The Englishman felt discomfort in his thigh. Enzo Fernandez, Estevão, and Gittens took part in the match, but struggled with health issues during the game. Last week, the English coach revealed the presence of a virus that affected part of the squad and staff at the London club.

Players’ recovery

In a press conference this Friday, Liam brought good news to Chelsea fans regarding the players’ physical condition.

“Regarding the illnesses, the affected players are gradually regaining full health,” he explained.

“We had to be very careful with this because Estevão was very sick, Jamie Gittens was very sick, and that changed our plans during the week in terms of what we wanted to do. Fortunately, the boys have recovered from it, and Enzo as well,” he added.

About Palmer, the 41-year-old coach revealed his participation in Friday’s training session.

“Cole is fine. He took part in training today, which is very positive, and we’ll assess his reaction to the session afterwards,” he said.

Confirmed absences

The update for the press was not entirely positive. Goalkeeper Filip Jorgensen is expected to be available only at the end of next week, and midfielder Dario Essugo suffered an injury in the last training session and will be evaluated.

“Jorgensen had the scan, and the result was quite positive, not as bad as we initially feared. Dario suffered a very unfortunate injury. He slipped in training and will be out for a while. We expect him to be out for more than a month,” Rosenior explained.
