Cole Palmer


The 23-year-old has been pictured back in training after recovering from both a groin and a toe injury.

Palmer has had a left boot adapted to protect the toe that was broken, allowing him to take part in sessions. Maresca has hinted that the attacking midfielder could make his comeback this weekend.

The midfielder sustained a muscular injury in the opening minutes of the 2-2 draw against Qarabag at the start of November.

Lavia is estimated to be sidelined for about a month so there is hope that he will soon be back available.
