Nontheless, top scorer Cole Palmer will NOT be in action for the West London side.

Despite Palmer’s productive 14 goals in 28 games this season, he hasn’t scored in ten games.

Why is Cole Palmer not in the Chelsea squad for this Premier League game against Arsenal?

From Andy Dillon at Stamford Bridge:

Palmer appears still stricken by a bug which is a blow to Chelsea and England.

The forward suffered diarrhoea and had to come off early from the home win over Leicester City having missed a penalty.

He returned as a half time sub in Thursday in the Conference League but is now poorly again and is out of the squad to face Arsenal.

Palmer was called up for Thomas Tuchel’s first England squad which reports for duty tomorrow.

Palmer also missed the most recent under squad under Tuchel’s predecessor Lee Carsley in November.

A knee injury put paid to his hopes of playing for his country then.
