Former Manchester City starlet Cole Palmer SAD NEWS has been announced this morning by England Coach
Cole Palmer will not play for England U21 but Chelsea receives a positive fitness update for the match against Arsenal.
The former Manchester City sensation appeared to return from the break with his right thigh bandaged after suffering an injury in the first half of a 9-1 victory over Serbia.
He only played for six minutes of the second half before being substituted by Tino Livramento, leaving Chelsea supporters and Mauricio Pochettino anxious for Saturday, October 21, when Arsenal will come.
Carsley, the manager of the England Under-21 team, gave an update on Sunday afternoon. The former Everton midfielder said he wasn’t very concerned about the injury but wouldn’t take any chances because his team’s next Saturday game is so important.
We don’t take any chances with any of the players, but I believe Cole would be fine.
We bring them back to the teams as soon as we can if there is even the slightest chance that they will miss a weekend game.
Cole could have stayed another day to see how things went, but we didn’t believe that was appropriate. Other than a few colds and sniffles, everyone is OK.
This week, Armando Broja departed the Albanian team early in order to get back to Cobham early.
The 22-year-old injured his knee ligaments against Aston Villa in a preseason friendly last December.
The striker was invited into the Albania squad prior to the European Championship qualifications against Czechia and the friendly against Bulgaria, and Chelsea has methodically planned his return to the team.
Before the match against Albania on Tuesday, Broja, who was left out of the team that won 3-0 on Thursday night, has returned to London.
Nicolas Jackson, the team’s other striker, has also already arrived home from international duty. The Villarreal summer acquisition underwent a minor wrist procedure after being observed wearing a split during those victories over Fulham and Burnley.
He was a member of the Senegal team for the matches against South Sudan and Cameroon but withdrew this week.
