Palmer could miss Chelsea's match with Arsenal

Chelsea could be without top scorer Cole Palmer when they visit Premier League leaders Arsenal on Tuesday.

Palmer is the joint-top scorer in the league with 20 goals.

However, Blues boss Mauricio Pochettino said the 21-year-old is struggling to recover from illness in time for the game.

"We will see [Tuesday] morning. Today, I don't believe he can be involved," Pochettino said.

"Even if he is good [on Tuesday] maybe he is not in a condition to play. We hope he can recover from this situation and be involved with the team."
