Cole Palmer continues to play and is a player to keep an eye on.

Usually when he goes down like that, it means he’s in pain, although it might be the type of issue that allows him to play.

Chelsea continue to closely manage the 23-year-old England international after giving him an extended spell in the autumn to deal with a recurring groin problem.

This approach appears to be helping to keep him available, but Chelsea still limit his minutes, acknowledging he is not yet fully back to normal.
