Impact Palmer doesn't have an exact timeline on his return, but the time frame is expected to be weeks not months.

Impact Palmer won't be an option until the international break due to a groin injury that he suffered against Manchester United. There were some reports that this could be a serious issue though Maresca described Palmer as "resting" until the break. That certainly seems like an optimistic take on recovering from a nagging injury, but either way it should give exciting talent Estevao more chances in the starting XI.

Subs off with apparent injury Palmer was subbed off in the first half of Saturday's game against Manchester United with an apparent injury, Simon Johnson of The Athletic reports.

Impact Palmer appeared to have suffered some discomfort in the loss to Bayern Munich in the Champions League on Wednesday, and it seems the injury bugged him again this time. The fact that Palmer went straight to the dressing room after being subbed off before the 25th minute is a clear indication that something's wrong with the playmaker. It's unclear if the injury will force Palmer to miss time, but his next chance to feature will come against Brighton on Saturday, Sep. 27.

Avoids injury Palmer avoided an injury during Wednesday's defeat to Bayern Munich, per manager Enzo Maresca. "Cole, I think he's okay. I asked him after the game, he said that he's okay."

Impact Palmer seemed to be struggling with a groin injury in the dying moments of Wednesday's clash. It appears in the end it wasn't a serious issue for Palmer, who should be fully fit. He will have a short week before a Saturday trip to Manchester United, but barring any surprises he should be right back in the starting XI for that clash.
