Pochettino speaks on Cole Palmer's availability for Chelsea vs Aston Villa clash

Mauricio Pochettino has opened up on whether Cole Palmer would be available for the Premier League fixture Chelsea vs Aston Villa scheduled to be played this weekend.

Chelsea football club's star player, Cole Palmer, who had missed the team's last Premier League fixture against Arsenal due to an illness, is now back in full fitness and ready to take on Aston Villa this weekend. The upcoming game against Villa is expected to be a crucial one for both teams as they are still vying for a spot in the Champions League next season, making Palmer's return a much-needed boost for Chelsea.

The forward has been an integral part of the team's attacking prowess throughout the 2023/2024 season, having contributed over 25 goals and assists in all competitions since his move from Manchester City. The absence of Cole Palmer in the previous match against Arsenal was evident, as Chelsea struggled to create chances and eventually suffered a 5-0 defeat. Nonetheless, with Palmer's return, Chelsea will be hoping to get back to winning ways and secure a crucial win against a strong Aston Villa side.

Chelsea also suffered new injury concerns with both Carney Chukwuemeka and Raheem Sterling set to miss the fixture due to injury.
