As Coach Liam Rosenior take over Chelsea, one of the first things wey e notice na how Palmer dey try manage him performance after him don miss plenty time due to injury. E don play just 13 matches so far as injuries don stop am from being the star wey everybody sabi.
When e score that penalty, plenty people expect am to do him usual cold celebration wey dey show as he don land di ball for net. But no!

Even di Coach yan say Palmer get energy for di last minutes of di match, but no be all the sharpness dey there yet.
Rosenior sef don dey manage di fixture tight like food wey chop early morning. Chelsea dey get plenty matches back to back, and dem no wan risk any player wey don dey struggle with injury. E don explain say no be say Palmer no fit perform, but dem just dey cautious at di moment as small thigh wahala fit still dey disturb am.

Everybody dey wonder if e go make di cut, especially as di World Cup dey come fast. E don really had to find him rhythm ever since him come Chelsea from Manchester City, and no be small pressure dey on him shoulders.
For Chelsea side, dem wan make sure Palmer dey on di pitch sharp-sharp, wey be why dem dey watch am well. Him potential no fit lie, and di Coach sabi wetin he bring to di team despite di struggles. Na just matter of time before we go see di real Cole Palmer wey dey run things for di field again.
