Chelsea fans spot worrying thing Cole Palmer did at full-time after Servette game

Chelsea fans were left concerned when they saw what Cole Palmer did at full-time after his side's win against Servette on Thursday.

Chelsea have one foot in the UEFA Conference League group stage after beating Swiss side Servette 2-0 at Stamford Bridge in the first-leg of their play-off.

Enzo Maresca's side were booed off the pitch at half-time by sections of their home support with the score locked at 0-0.

However, Christopher Nkunku gave his side the lead from the penalty spot early in the second half before Noni Madueke gave Chelsea breathing space 15 minutes from time.

Maresca took the opportunity to utilise the depth of his squad, with regular starters including Cole Palmer, Enzo Fernandez and Marc Cucurella dropping to the bench.

Palmer, who earlier this week was named the PFA Young Player of the Year, was brought on just before the hour mark, replacing Marc Guiu who managed to miss an open goal on his first competitive start for the club.

Palmer was by far and away Chelsea's best player last season, notching 22 goals and 11 assists in 34 Premier League outings to help his side squeeze into Europe.

Given how important the 22-year-old is to the team, Chelsea fans were concerned when they noticed that Palmer headed straight down the tunnel at full-time on Thursday.


The England star appeared to be in some discomfort as he winced while holding his right hamstring.

In a bid to ease fears, Maresca gave an update on his star's fitness during his post-match press conference, and it's good news for Chelsea fans.

"Cole felt something, but he looks fine," the Italian coach said.

"They already checked him, he looks fine, he looks okay. Hopefully it's not any problem and he can be available for Sunday's game."

Chelsea will travel to Molineux to face Wolves on Sunday in their second league outing of the season.
