Absent with muscle strain Palmer was sidelined Wednesday against Pafos after he suffered a slight muscle strain, Peter Rutzler of Times Sport reports.

Impact Palmer had bounced back from another minor issue and scored a goal in last weekend's EPL win over Brentford, but he couldn't stay fit for the subsequent Champions League contest. Still, there's optimism that he could be back for Sunday's trip to Crystal Palace. Despite being an inconsistent campaign for him due to injuries, he has scored three goals over his last seven appearances and recorded multiple shots in four of those games.

Converts from spot Palmer scored one goal to go with two shots (one on goal) in Saturday's 2-0 win over Brentford. In addition, he was given a yellow card in the 91st minute.

Impact Palmer returned to the scoresheet with a well-taken penalty but was otherwise limited, recording one early shot and no chances created. He made his eighth straight league start and has produced three goals from 13 shots in that span, with his last two coming via penalties. He has gone three matches without creating a chance and has not consistently matched his output from previous two seasons while managing fitness issues.

Impact Palmer is training on Friday and should be an option for Saturday's clash against Brentford. The playmaker is carefully managed by the medical staff to avoid any risks of injuries if he is not 100 per cent fit to feature. That said, the staff is optimistic to see him play on Saturday and he should earn a starting role if he passes the late fitness call ahead of the game.

Impact Palmer was apparently absent from training due to a slight injury, despite which he might be able to play in league action. However, he could have his playing time managed either in the game against Brentford or in subsequent fixtures, with a Champions League matchup coming next week. Palmer has played in both No. 10 and right-wing spots lately, producing two goals over his last six EPL starts. Assuming he'll return in a central spot, it could lead to Enzo Fernandez moving back to defensive midfield and Andrey Santos to the bench.

Won't be risked Palmer will not be risked if he is not fully fit to play at this stage of the season, coach Liam Rosenior told the media. "I had a really good in-depth conversation with Cole [on M...

Impact Palmer is likely to see some rest in the coming fixtures, since Chelsea will play eight games in four weeks and both the medical staff and new coach Liam Rosenior do not want to risk their best offensive player if he is not fully fit to feature. If Palmer is rested in some games or starts on the bench for the Blues, Enzo Fernandez is likely to play in a more offensive role.

Impact Palmer is dealing with some issues and will now be battling some fitness issues heading into Wednesday's match, potentially rested to preserve the midfielder after a rough start to the season with injuries. This comes after he was sat out for their FA Cup win over the weekend, possibly missing two straight Cup matches due to the precaution. This likely means the club is focusing on the league campaign and appears to be okay resting him moving forward, with no major concerns for the attacker despite the expected absence.
