Chelsea handed big injury blow ahead of Arsenal trip

Chelsea have been handed a big injury blow ahead of the Premier League clash against Arsenal on the road.

  • Chelsea prepare mega money bid for Alex Scott
  • Man Utd and Chelsea consider move for David Alaba


  • The Blues suffered a defeat to Manchester City in the FA Cup semi-final on Saturday and they will be keen to make amends.

    However, ahead of the north London trip, they have suffered a setback with Cole Palmer doubtful for the visit.

    The playmaker has been a revelation for the Blues with 25 goals and 13 assists in his debut campaign for them.

    Palmer missed today's training session due to illness and Mauricio Pochettino has hinted that he may not be fit for the derby.

    The Blues will face the Gunners at the Emirates Stadium tomorrow night and Palmer faces a race against time to make the game.

    Arsenal will go into the game as potential favourites, but the Blues can't be underestimated as they tend to stand out in the big outings.

    They played out a 2-2 draw against the Gunners at Stamford Bridge earlier this season where they were cruising at 2-0 at one point.
