Chelsea Suffer Major Blow as Cole Palmer Picks Up Serious Injury After Manchester United Win
Chelsea’s hard-fought victory over Manchester United should have been a night to celebrate, but joy quickly turned into concern at Stamford Bridge. Star midfielder Cole Palmer, who has been the standout performer for the Blues this season, has suffered a serious injury that could derail the team’s momentum.
Manager Enzo Maresca didn’t hide his concern in the post-match press conference:
“It’s very difficult to imagine how we’ll cope without Palmer in the coming weeks,” Maresca admitted, his words echoing the fears of fans across West London.
Palmer’s impact at Chelsea has been undeniable. From scoring crucial goals to creating chances with his vision and composure, the young Englishman has quickly become the heartbeat of Maresca’s system. Losing him now—at a time when the Blues face a demanding run of fixtures—could prove costly.
For a squad already struggling with inconsistency, Palmer’s injury feels like a nightmare scenario. Supporters are desperate for clarity on the severity of the setback and how long their talisman might be sidelined.
With Chelsea’s season hanging in the balance, all eyes will be on the medical updates in the coming days.
