Pochettino hoping this Chelsea 21-year-old will be available Vs Arsenal

Chelsea will return to action on Tuesday when they travel to Emirates Stadium to play Arsenal in the Premier League.

Ahead of the match, Chelsea boss Mauricio Pochettino has raised doubt on the availablity of their star player Cole Palmer.

Recall that Palmer appeared to have sustained a knock while playing against his former club Manchester City in the FA Cup semi final at Wembley on Saturday.

While Palmer didn’t score against the Citizens, he remains Chelsea most potent player at the front.

Chelsea would have massive advantage if he is present during their next game against Arsenal in the Premier League.

So far this season, Palmer has been the Blues’ best player, coming up with 36 goal contributions in 39 appearances.

He is also one of the favourites to win the Premier League golden boot this season.

When asked about the Englishman sustaining a knock in the loss to Man City, Pochettino told football.london and other outlets: “It’s normal. He’s tired. But I don’t believe he has a problem.

“We need to check tomorrow but I hope there’s nothing more wrong than him being tired.”
