Cole Palmer, a player in Chelsea, will not play for another week because he tore his toe on Wednesday night when he stubbed it on a door.
After two months out with a groin injury, the England forward was scheduled to return to first-team training this week.
The 23-year-old will be sidelined for a little bit longer because of the small toe on his favorite left foot.
He will miss the Blues’ next three games, including the Premier League game against Burnley on Saturday, the Champions League game against Barcelona on Tuesday, and the match against Arsenal on Saturday at home.
Enzo Maresca, the manager of Chelsea, said, “He is probably not available for Saturday for sure, Barcelona for sure, or Arsenal for sure.”
He reportedly hit his toe in an accident at home, sadly. He won’t be back in the following week, despite the fact that it isn’t significant.
I hit my head, my legs, and everything in the night to make it happen.
Palmer most recently appeared on television on September 20th, 2012, during Chelsea’s 2-1 defeat to Manchester United.
The Blues are third in the Premier League standings and have won eight games in all competitions since then, winning eight and losing two.
I believe that Cole’s teammates are better players when they play, added Maresca. We all want Cole on the pitch, and I feel much better when he plays.
“We need to find a solution at the same time as Cole isn’t on the pitch. We are doing better with Cole, but the team is doing very well. He was on the verge of rejoining us.
The trip to Turf Moor is made possible by Enzo Fernandez, Pedro Neto, and Benoit Badiashile.
Raheem Sterling and Axel Disasi are included in Chelsea’s alleged “bomb squad,” and Maresca confirmed nothing has changed between the pair despite the defender’s involvement with the Under-21s and first-team training during the international break.
He claimed that Raheem and Axel are both Chelsea players. “Axel is supporting the younger players, not the second team.”
- 17 October
Palmer continues to be Chelsea’s top attacking force.
Chelsea’s sensational first season at Stamford Bridge under Mauricio Pochettino earned the nickname “Cole Palmer FC.”
Palmer has remained Chelsea’s elite attacker since Enzo Maresca took over.
He won Player of the Tournament and was man of the match when Chelsea won the Club World Cup over Real Betis last year. He also won the title of Man of the Match.
Chelsea will have three games against Leeds United, Bournemouth, and Atalanta in nine days while Palmer will miss games against Burnley, Barcelona, and Arsenal.
While there are hopes he is over the worst of a persistent groin problem, the injury is understood to be minor.
Palmer has only featured once this season and has only played four games since coming on after 21 minutes at Old Trafford.

- Liam Lawrence, a player for Stoke City, tripped over his pet Labrador and injured his ankle.
- Kirk Broadfoot, a Rangers defender, was taken to the hospital after an egg blew up in his face while he was microwaving.
