Chelsea Vs Arsenal: Cole Palmer Fit For London Derby

JAKARTA - Cole Palmer is fit and will be available to start for Chelsea against Arsenal on Sunday, November 30, 2025, WIB night.

Palmer missed Chelsea's trip to Burnley last week and their Champions League win over Barcelona in the middle of this week after he suffered a broken leg in a home accident.

The Blues manager, Enzo Maresca, previously said he thought Palmer would miss the match against London's leaders and rivals Arsenal.

However, on Friday, November 28, 2025, local time, the coach confirmed that their star midfielder would be available.

"He is available. Everyone is happy. Teammates are happy, we are all happy. The most important thing is that Cole is happy, he needs to play."

"He's probably our best player. We're happy he's back. We need to give him time to make sure he's 100 percent fit."

"He has played fantastic in the past and no doubt he will play fantastic in the future," Maresca told a news conference.

Palmer has not played since suffering a groin injury when Chelsea lost 1-2 to Manchester United in September.

He almost recovered before suffering a toe injury last week.
