The Pride of London comment after news reports that two currently injured Chelsea players may miss the crucial upcoming Newcastle United fixture. And things are paying off for Cole Palmer, according to the exciting forward.

As we all suffer through the international break with no domestic football, PoL strive to continuously bring you Chelsea-related material along with our views on matters. So, let’s take a look at squad fitness.

Colwill and Gusto are respective doubts for the Newcastle clash on November 25. Colwill is more prominent and important than teammate Gusto, but the Blues have other fitness concerns too. Perennially injured ex-Leicester City defenders Ben Chilwell and Wesley Fofana remain unavailable as well. While Trevoh Chalobah is also out.

Chelsea’s Cole Palmer loving life

If you have read our stuff in recent weeks, you’ll know that we saw a nearly finished and polished gem in Palmer. He is kind of a missing piece in the Blues puzzle. A confusing and regularly unnecessarily counterproductive puzzle. Palmer helps stitch together a rather ragged attack. He certainly brings some attacking je ne sais quoi that nobody can quite describe when witnessed at elite level. Talent. And lots of it.

The eight goal involvements in 14 matches doesn’t tell the entire story of the playmaker’s influence at CFC. Neither does saying ‘well, what about all the penalties!’ aid an understanding of this type of impact. You try scoring an equalising penalty against Manchester City in the rain at 4-3 at that age! Pressure overcome.

Next. Chelsea want to sign goalkeeper in January but it won’t be this target. dark

And Palmer’s having a ball at Stamford Bridge. He might perhaps even make his senior England debut as the Three Lions have already qualified for the European championships. Now he’s settled from a significant transfer to Chels’, he’s opened up on enjoying the season so far. The winger/No.10 notes that the move from Manchester City is really ‘paying off‘.
