Unfortunately, Cole Palmer had to sit out of England's recent international break due to an injury. However, things are looking up for him as he is set to start in Chelsea's upcoming Premier League match against Bournemouth this weekend.
Initially, Palmer was called up by Lee Carsley for England's Nations League games against the Republic of Ireland and Finland. But, he had to withdraw from the squad along with Aston Villa's Ollie Watkins. The Football Association confirmed that both players needed to focus on rehabilitating from their ongoing issues.
But, it seems like the international break did Palmer some good as he has fully recovered from his injury and has been able to participate in training with Chelsea this week. This is great news for the team as they prepare to face Bournemouth on Saturday.
Speaking of the upcoming match, Palmer is expected to maintain his starting position as Enzo Maresca's side takes on Bournemouth. On a similar note, there is a lot of excitement surrounding Jadon Sancho's potential debut for Chelsea. The winger, who recently joined on loan from Manchester United, trained with the team during the international break and has made a positive impression on Maresca.
When asked about Sancho's potential starting position, Maresca stated that it ultimately depends on the training sessions and that he has been impressed with Sancho's skills in the final third of the field. He also mentioned that Sancho is exactly the type of player they were looking for and that they are just waiting for the right moment to give him a chance.
