Chelsea handed injury boost ahead of Bournemouth trip

Chelsea have been handed an injury boost ahead of the Premier League meeting against Bournemouth on the road.

The Blues have had a mixed start to the campaign with four points attained from three games. They will face the Cherries away from home this weekend.

Ahead of the encounter, they have received a timely boost with Cole Palmer involved in training after a minor injury scare.

Palmer was forced to withdraw from England duty with a hamstring issue, but he has recovered in time to report for training.

The news is a huge boost for the west London giants, considering Palmer has been exceptional for them in the final third.

The Manchester City graduate has had a fantastic start to the top-flight season with four assists and one goal to his name.

Chelsea have looked impressive in the attacking aspect under new manager Enzo Maresca, but have struggled defensively at times.

This needs to improve following the international break.
