Chelsea are hopeful that Cole Palmer will be fit to face Tottenham in the London derby next week.
The 22-year-old missed the defeat to Arsenal and international duty with England due to a muscular injury.
Palmer has undergone two separate scans to diagnose the problem and there is confidence that he won’t be out for too long.
Speaking earlier this month, head coach Enzo Maresca said that the player needed “rest physically and mentally.”
