Chelsea midfielder Palmer injured after 'accident at home'

"It's fractured. The only thing we know is that he's not available for this week, next week. It can happen, it can happen. I wake up many times during the night to go to the toilet, and I hit my head, my leg, my everything, so it can happen. He was back with us, almost, with the groin. Then again, he had this small problem and hopefully it's nothing important."

"Unfortunately, he had an accident at home where he hit his toe but it is nothing important - but he won't be back in the next week. The last time I saw him was yesterday morning and he was without socks, without flip-flops. He was limping, not too much, he was walking OK. The problem is that it's a small toe, so the contact with the boots can be a bit painful."

Cole Palmer fractured a toe in an accident at home and will be sidelined for at least the next week. He had just returned to training after a two-month groin injury. Manager Enzo Maresca confirmed Palmer will miss Saturday's trip to Burnley, the Champions League match with Barcelona and the following weekend's game against Arsenal. Palmer has made three Premier League appearances this season, scoring in a 2-2 draw at Brentford in September. Maresca said the fracture and the small toe make contact with boots painful, leaving Palmer limping but walking OK.
