Chelsea’s mission of ending a four-game Premier League losing streak when they visit Brighton & Hove Albion just got a lot harder, with Cole Palmer not even making the matchday squad.
Palmer was on the pitch for the full 90 minutes in Chelsea’s weekend defeat against Manchester United. Although he’s been kept quiet in recent weeks, he remains crucial to solving Chelsea’s attacking woes, so it came as a major surprise to see him not even make the bench for Tuesday’s contest against the Seagulls.
