After fracturing a toe, Chelsea and England’s Cole Palmer will miss two Premier League games and their Champions League clash with Barcelona next week, according to coach Enzo Maresca.
Palmer, 23, who had just returned from two months of a groin injury, was alleged to have suffered the injury at home.
He allegedly smacked his toe on a nighttime door.
Palmer will miss Saturday’s trip to Burnley, Tuesday’s home game against Barcelona, and Arsenal’s Premier League opener against the top team next weekend.

Maresca predicted that “he is probably not available for tomorrow, Barcelona, or Arsenal.”
He hit his toe at home, which was unfortunate, but it is unimportant, and he won’t be returning in the following week.
Palmer will play for England in the World Cup squad the following year after scoring twice in the club world championship final against Paris Saint-Germain in July.
