Cole Palmer is targeting a return for Chelsea’s Champions League showdown with Barcelona as Enzo Maresca’s side travel to Azerbaijan to face Qarabag without him.
Chelsea have coped well without Palmer since he injured his groin two months ago, winning seven of their nine games played in their playmaker’s absence.
The 23-year-old Englishman is not yet training, but there is hope that he can be back in time for their Barca clash on November 25 and the Premier League visit of Arsenal five days later.
