Well the plan is for him to be back for both: https://www.skysports.com/football/news/11095/13463768/cole-palmer-injury-enzo-maresca-hopes-Chelsea-forward-will-be-fit-to-face-barcelona-and-arsenal-in-november

I mean yeah you're right it's good for us but it's so fucking boring every time international matches start.

Wrap Caicedo up in cotton wool - Man needs a rest at some point

Garnacho has been solid. Getting more and more settled. He and Estevão should be our first choice wingers for a run of games.

This is just another way of trying to get exposure to as many players as possible so we can find buyers, in other words they don't give a fuck about results just fixing the mess they created.

How anyone expects us to be seriously competitive in the long run with that lanky streak of pish Tosin as one of our starting CBs every week, I don’t know. And last season he was a good signing for some because he was free… muppets. How are players like Colwill, Hato &, Josh even Fofana meant to learn & kick on if he is the starting CB their looking up to 🤣? On a wider note, Maresca has to go we are fucking terrible. We might not even make the next round of the CL at this rate.

Maresca always talks a big game about not taking any opponent lightly and did so again before this one. Then he goes and picks this XI with Hato at CB and Tyrique up top who VERY CLEARLY is not a striker when we’ve got Guiu and Delap available. He really thought we could just show up here with anybody and stroll to victory.

This comes at a good time for us. Let players rest. Palmer should be back. Allow the likes of Enzo, Caicedo and Pedro to get over their niggles (assuming they are not called up for international duty).

We were told he is selfish, not good for dressing room but I see completely different things. Great team player.

We were dominating an awful Wolves side. It was really bad but as soon as we scroed the game opened up and Wolves were looking lively but Estevao put an end to that. What a player Stevo is. Well done lads.

What a crap rudgier. Low balling defense when they should spend big on murillo.

Delap has to start this with Pedro in behind

We didn't need another "potential" defender. We already have two decent young defenders out on loan in France and Germany. Hincapie was right there and even though Arsenal had like 4 CB's and 2 LB's, they still went out and got him. Talent hoarding is one thing but you also need to balance that with some experience as well.

I told several time that both are not a upgrade to jackson

Just fucking sell him for fucks sake

Maresca out.

BY FAR OUR WEAKEST POSITION IS CB!!!!! we are absolutely fucked there

Perhaps time to take our losses and get rid of him.. Not sure if I ever saw a player fragile as him. His body is not Fucking hell, Caicedo is on.. Hope we will be more lucky with Essugo.

Lavia needs to GO glassman

Exactly, every game is like a shop window for other clubs to come in January for the fringe players. Its just a shame that Tosin won't be sold anytime soon

This aint bumps!! It wont bring long term rewards hahah! Load of shite

I think it's gonna be easy win. This Wolves seems hopeless, they have no coach, their best player(Gomes) is ruled out, and after the Qarabag fiasco I expect we will get this done with no problem.

Hato has 2 PL starts in 10 games. Wouldn't call him anyone's darling.

U mean to avoid playoffs? We also have Pafos at home. Last season 11 points was needed to progress to playoffs. This season we are half way and with 4 points you are there. So maybe this season even less. Let's say we beat Pafos and just one point from other 3 games guarantee playoffs. But for top8 yes 3 wins in 4 to have a chance. Extremely unlikely but also not that important.

Joao Pedro goes long stretches as a passenger now. Seems disinterested in how he’s being used

To be honest, this is just a deal that I see happening sooner rather than later, but I’m…View the full article

Not the worse result all things considered, but we really ought to be winning with our squad. Maresca needs to sort out his starting XI's instead of trying to make amends at HT. I feel a solid CB that walks straight into our starting XI is a must in Jan with Colwill still out for the forseeable.

look at their defensive players best group on the planet

Maresca out

2 games in Italy will decide everything. But also reminder that PSG qualified last season in the last game.

Pretty clear we're not going to go far in this...

Mbappe is dogshit , no coincidence psg won the CL after he left

Maresca is as immature as some of the players

I think both are shite

Been ran ragged by a fucking bog average side, but lets' not forget that's what we are in reality. If we worked as hard as the sides we faced week in and week out we would be more succesful, unfortunately they expect things given this lot, they are a team full of amateur and immature kids

We should win ofc but they are not that bad. Currently sharing 3rd place in CL. Possibly 3 wins in 4. Even in a loss against Villarreal they had a lead.

Shambles once again, a red card is coming because this lot have no idea how to keep their heads Fucking amateur babies

We are just woeful and shocking defensively no matter who is playing. A disgrace to the club. Laughingstock to everyone watching.

🔥Breaking News🔥BlueCo, led by Todd Boehly, the current owners of Chelsea and Strasbourg are in advanced talks to buy FC Santos!

Should be sold. Maybe a Milán will do wonders for him.

Estevao is just a special player

He makes it look so easy.

We need to sell Lavia. He is made of glass

I'm not a fan of Joao leading the line, tbh. He did decent against Spurs, but I feel playing behind a CF is his best position.

We shouldn't need Caicedo anywhere near the pitch tonight

I'm not one bit having Mbappe and Vini as world class players, and this isn't just based on last night but for a long time now I have been saying they show flashes and are not consistent, last night both went missing again and I said before kick off Liverpool would win, and they did easy because the two Playstation players went missing. Vini should just fuck off to Saudi, what a moaning little diving cheating cunt he is. Mbappe, well he's fast...well done

Honestly dont care about the other clubs and their dealings. Liverpool's form can fluctuate. The point is our defensive reinforcements have been lacking for more than two seasons now, and the club is doing little to address it., or even worse, de-priortizing it to fund other transfers.

So many complaints in here while people were lauding Liverpool for all their business and they look like shit. Woltemade getting hyped in here as a proper 9 when everyone knows damn well they would have lost their shit if we signed him for the money Newcastle did. You guys would be calling for Clearlake heads if it happened. Don’t understand how some of you don’t get tired of being hindsight heroes.

EXCLUSIVE - When Cole Palmer is expected back - return plans revealed https://siphillipstalkschelsea.substack.com/p/exclusive-when-cole-palmer-is-expected As reported at the time, Cole Palmer’s injury was more serious than what Enzo Maresca was saying and what was being reported. His injury was made worse by him being played again too soon and he went on and hindered the groin injury. At this moment in time, there is still no talk of any surgery, and Palmer is on his way back. Good News As per SPTC Sources, Chelsea have a return plan set out for Cole Palmer to get back into the squad. We can reveal that Palmer will be back on the grass doing individual training very soon and the plan at the moment is to give him 30 minutes against Burnley on November the 22nd, in a view for him getting his first start for the Barcelona game on November the 25th. Obviously I have to say that this is the plan, and sometimes plans don’t always come off. But right now, he is on schedule to make this and this is what they are planning to do with him. As long as there are no setbacks between now and then, or unless if his recovery goes even faster, this is when we can all expect to see Palmer back out on the pitch with Chelsea. Let’s hope things continue to go well so we can soon add Palmer back into the mix again. Let’s also hope that this groin injury does not reoccur again. It’s good to see that this time at least, they are letting it fully heal.

Whats crazy is that Arsenal already had Gabriel - Saliba and then they go out and add two more starting quality defenders in Mosquera (bargain price) and Hincapie. Where as we are supposed to rely on free transfer Tosin, Chalobah and young Josh as our CB's for the whole season with Fofana and Badi playing 5 games and becoming best mates with the medical staff.
