Chelsea attacker Cole Palmer

Cole Palmer is not in the Chelsea squad to face Arsenal

Cole Palmer has been left out of the Chelsea team to face Arsenal on Sunday. He played the second half of Thursday night's Conference League last-16 second leg against FC Copenhagen.

The attacker suffered from illness last week in the narrow 1-0 win over Leicester City with Enzo Maresca revealing that he had diarrhea. Palmer also did not train until the day before facing Copenhagen.

It is suggested that Palmer is now struggling with a hamstring injury. Reece James, who also missed training at the start of the week, starts at the Emirates Stadium.
