Chelsea Surprise Update! Drop Cole Palmer from Conference League squad
Italian coach Maresca surprised by leaving Palmer, the club’s top scorer, off his list for the UEFA Conference League, despite playing in the play-offs and helping the team reach the league phase.
The media speculates that this decision is due to the reason that Chelsea have to play as many as five competitions this season, including the new Club World Cup format, and the team has enough strength to take over Palmer’s burden, especially after heavily reinforcing the team during the summer, including the loan of Jadon Sancho from Manchester United.
However, if Chelsea can reach the knockout stages of the UEFA Conference League, they are likely to recall Palmer to the squad as a new squad list is submitted to UEFA.
