Chelsea manager Mauricio Pochettino has denied claims that Cole Palmer is carrying an injury.
The 21-year-old played with bandages on his legs during the 1-0 defeat to Manchester City in the FA Cup semi-final on Saturday but, speaking after the match, Pochettino said:
“It’s normal. He’s tired, but I don’t believe he has a problem. We need to check tomorrow, but I hope there’s nothing more wrong than his tiredness.”
Palmer was not substituted at the weekend, which suggests that, if the winger had picked up an issue, it was relatively minor.
