Cole Palmer posts injury update ahead of Chelsea vs Arsenal - with key fitness test planned for Saturday

Cole Palmer is fighting to be fit and raring to go for Chelsea's Premier League clash with Arsenal on Sunday – and faces a significant day with a fitness test on Saturday.

Palmer, 22, has not trained all week after he was injured by Lisandro Martinez in the Blues' 1-1 draw at Manchester United last Sunday but remains hopeful of facing the Gunners in a 4th vs 5th face-off at Stamford Bridge this weekend.

On Friday night Palmer posted an image wearing a 'Game Ready' wrap, used for hot and cold therapy, on his injured left knee while sat on a physio table at Chelsea's Cobham training ground.
