Enzo Maresca has confirmed that Cole Palmer suffered a fresh injury in a freak accident at home while recovering from a groin issue. The Chelsea star has missed a number of months and his absence could be extended courtesy of a different problem.

Maresca said: "He is probably not available for tomorrow, for sure, Barcelona , for sure, Arsenal , for sure. Unfortunately he had an accident at home with his toe. But it's nothing important. For sure he is not back next week.

"We don't know. It's fractured. The only thing we know he is not available for this week and next week."
