Cole Palmer was set to start against West Ham on Friday night right up until the warm ups when he just felt too uncomfortable to play in the end and had to drop out.

Of course, panic ensued amongst the Chelsea fan base who had to wait for Enzo Maresca to try and reassure them after the game confirming that Palmer had a problem with his groin.

The gaffer said after the game:

"Cole was not 100 percent in the last few days, he tried in the warm-up to play but he was not right. We will see how bad it is. He was already not 100 percent against Palace but he tried to make an effort for the club, fans and team."
