The mare doesn’t want it
Chelsea owner Enzo Maresca said he didn’t think Palmer would be a good fit when asked about his supply after the UAE match.
The Italian said: “I don’t think so [he will be fit for England] to be honest.
“His injury was yesterday’s meeting. It was a muscular issue and the scan was planned to be done Monday morning.”
