Cole Palmer is set to undergo a second scan on his muscular injury which has stopped the Chelsea playmaker from joining up with the England national team.
While the Blues are said to be optimistic, a clearer timeline is expected in the coming days regarding the 22-year-old’s recovery. Palmer missed Sunday’s 1-0 loss at Arsenal, with Enzo Maresca revealing afterwards how his No 10 required a scan on a problem he picked up in training the previous day.
Mail Sport now understands he is set for another scan on the lower leg issue, as Chelsea hope he can be passed fit to feature in their Premier League showdown with Tottenham on April 3.
