"The No.10 was not included in the squad for that match, but he could be in contention for Saturday's game. This game came too early for him, hopefully he'll be able to train on Friday, Rosenior said in his post-match press conference on Wednesday. He has a minor strain in his thigh. If you play someone with a minor strain in January, it can be six weeks. I can't afford to lose Cole Palmer for six weeks."
"The Blues host Brentford on Saturday in Liam Rosenior's first Premier League game as head coach. The self-assured Chelsea boss has had a mixed start to his tenure, beating Charlton Athletic 5-1 in the FA Cup before a 3-2 loss to Arsenal in the first leg of the League Cup semi-finals. Chelsea fans will expect a victory against London opposition as the Blues look to leapfrog Brentford and reignite their charge for a top four finish."
Cole Palmer is a doubt for Chelsea's Premier League clash with Brentford after sustaining a minor thigh strain. Manager Liam Rosenior confirmed Palmer was not fit to face Arsenal midweek and missed the squad, but said Palmer could be in contention if he can train on Friday. Rosenior warned that playing a player with a minor January thigh strain can lead to six weeks out, and he cannot afford that. Chelsea face Brentford before a Champions League trip to Pafos and a league visit to Crystal Palace. Rosenior described Palmer as a special talent alongside Moises Caicedo, Enzo Fernandez, Pedro Neto and Estevao.
