Chelsea have been hit with a fresh Cole Palmer setback after it was confirmed an “accident at home” will see the Blues’ talisman ruled out for at least the next three games. Palmer has only just recovered from a troublesome groin injury that has limited him to all but 235 minutes across the Premier League and Champions League so far this season.

He also had an application to trademark his name and a separate figurative one for his facial image approved. Last month, Palmer also successfully trademarked his ‘Cold’ nickname.
