Palmer expected to return next week; like an excited puppy before the Club World Cup final; wants to go to the World Cup

Hupu reported on November 19 that Matt Law, a famous reporter from the Daily Telegraph, wrote a column for Palmer.

Cole Palmer is eager to be named in Thomas Tuchel's England World Cup squad and is determined to make up for the time he has missed with the national team due to injury, and he is also about to return to the game.

Chelsea star Palmer has been sidelined with a groin injury since September and has only played once for England in more than a year, a 1-0 victory over Andorra in June.

In his absence, Palmer's close friend in football, Morgan Rogers, has shown his strength in competing for England's No. 10 jersey, while Jude Bellingham has been recalled for the final two World Cup qualifying games against Serbia and Albania.

England won't play again until March next year, when Palmer has made just one appearance for the national team in almost 18 months, and Tuchel has warned that he will not be able to select all available No. 10 players.

Therefore, some people have doubts about whether Palmer can be selected for the national team. But Tuchel has remained in contact with Palmer and Chelsea throughout his injury, prompting optimism that the 23-year-old remains an important part of the England manager's plans.

Stamford Bridge insiders still insist that if Palmer is healthy, he will definitely be selected for the World Cup squad, and Palmer himself is full of desire for the World Cup, which is obvious to those around him. He is said to have even discussed various possible options for Tuchel with some allies.

Rogers has shown his ability to be selected for the World Cup squad, and Bellingham has also proven in the European Cup that he can play an important role in key games. But since the start of last season, Palmer has averaged more goals and assists per game for the club than Rodgers and Phil Foden, with Bellingham equaling Palmer in goals and assists but scoring fewer goals than them.

In the same period, Palmer only made three appearances for the England team, without scoring or assisting, which explains why he is so eager to prove that he can make a difference before Tuchel selects the World Cup squad.

Chelsea's Champions League match against Barcelona next Tuesday is considered a possible return date for Palmer. If he fails to make it to this game, he hopes to return as soon as possible when Chelsea host Arsenal in five days' time.

Palmer has returned to Chelsea's Cobham training base for training. As long as his groin injury recovers smoothly, he will speed up his training progress. Surgery was never seriously considered as a treatment for Palmer's groin pain, but after he was forced off the pitch against Manchester United after just 21 minutes of action, the club decided to allow him to fully recover rather than continue treatment.

In addition to receiving treatment from the club's team doctor, he also consulted a number of groin experts to get the best advice. It is believed that he, Chelsea and England will all benefit from this in crucial moments.

Chelsea successfully resolved this issue during the Club World Cup and ultimately reaped the rewards. Palmer scored twice in the final against Paris Saint-Germain and was named Man of the Match. The game takes place at the Metlife Stadium - where next summer's World Cup final will also be held - and where Palmer dreams of shining again.

The victory over Paris Saint-Germain may be the best example of Palmer showing his ability in the big competition. Sources within the Chelsea dressing room claim the former Manchester City man was like an excited puppy the day before the Club World Cup final.
