Chelsea manager, Enzo Maresca, has revealed that he might be without eight players for the visit of Liverpool on Saturday.
The Blues are looking to avoid a third consecutive defeat in the Premier League.
But Maresca will be without several key players for the game.
“Cole is still out. We have Trev [Chalobah] suspended,” Maresca told reporters on Friday.
“Seven or eight players out for tomorrow’s game.”
Palmer has missed Chelsea’s last three games, after he was taken off during the 2-1 loss at Manchester United.
When pressed for an update on Palmer’s recovery, Maresca replied: “I don’t have any update at the moment. We have a meeting this week.”
