Cole Palmer will not play any role in Chelsea's clash at West Ham after suffering an injury in the warm-up.

Sky Sports reported manager Enzo Maresca had said Palmer 'felt something' and the England star was taken out of the squad as a precaution.

Estevao, the 18-year-old starlet, has been given his full debut to replace Palmer.

Footage showed Palmer leave the pitch at the London Stadium before the end of Chelsea's warm-up. He was then seen looking glum on the substitutes bench ahead of kick-off.
