Cole Palmer was notably absent from Chelsea's squad in their Premier League match against Arsenal today due to a minor injury sustained during a recent training session. Chelsea's manager, Enzo Maresca, explained that Palmer experienced a "very small problem" during a light training session and is expected to return after the upcoming international break. citeturn0search5

This absence is particularly significant as Palmer has been a key player for Chelsea this season, contributing 14 goals in 28 appearances. His recent form has been affected by the absence of teammate Nicolas Jackson, whose high-intensity runs have previously created space for Palmer to excel. Without Jackson, Palmer has struggled, failing to score in his last nine games and missing his first career penalty in a recent match against Leicester City. citeturn0news12

Chelsea's match against Arsenal was a crucial fixture in their pursuit of Champions League qualification. Despite their efforts, they are currently trailing 1-0, with Arsenal's Mikel Merino scoring the only goal in the 20th minute. citeturn0news11
