No Cole Palmer? Arsenal manager reacts to major boost Vs Chelsea

Arsenal will on Tuesday host Chelsea at Emirates Stadium in the Premier League in a crucial match for the Gunners.

Ahead of the big game, Arsenal have been handed a major boost as Chelsea are likely to be without their star player Cole Palmer.

The Gunners boss, Mikel Arteta, in reaction to the report insisted that Chelsea are not a one-man team.

According to Arteta, Stamford Bridge is home to players of “quality” that can play all over the pitch.

As of now, Palmer is Chelsea’s top scorer this season with 23 goals in all matches.

Recall that the 21-year-old was spotted with strapping around his left thigh ahead of the Blues’ FA Cup semi-final against Manchester City which ended in a defeat.

Palmer appeared to have been nursing an injury at Wembley.

However, the Blues confirmed that an illness could keep Palmer out of the trip to the Emirates.

But Arteta said: “I don’t know… we have no control over their availability. We only have control over ours.

“Whatever they put out, when you look at the squad, the quality that they have, it’s great.

“I think they are doing very, very well and much better than people say. It will be a tough match, for sure.”
