Chelsea manager Mauricio Pochettino has confirmed he expects to be without star forward Cole Palmer when the Blues face Arsenal on Tuesday.<\/strong><\/p>\n
Victory over the Premier League leaders would see Chelsea climb up into seventh in the table, ahead of Manchester United, but that huge task became even tougher on Monday when Chelsea confirmed Palmer has been unwell and unable to train.<\/p>\n
Asked whether Palmer could still face\u00a0Arsenal, Pochettino admitted he is not confident his top scorer will be available.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe\u2019ll see tomorrow, we need to assess tomorrow morning,\u201d Pochettino said. \u201cBut today, I don\u2019t believe he can be involved, but we need to assess him tomorrow and then we\u2019ll decide.<\/p>\n
\u201cIf he\u2019s good tomorrow, maybe he\u2019s not in a condition to play. I hope he recovers from this situation and can be involved again as soon as possible with the team.\u201d<\/p>\n
Despite losing the focal point of his team, Pochettino remained confident that\u00a0Chelsea\u00a0can still beat Arsenal.<\/p>\n
\u201cWith or without, we believe we can win,\u201d Pochettino stressed. \u201cThe most important [thing] is the team, the collective.<\/p>\n
\u201cOf course, he is an important part of the team. He is doing fantastic for us, but I think this is Chelsea and there are plenty of players who can perform and do the job.\u201d<\/p>\n

Also featuring on the latest injury report are full-back duo Malo Gusto and Ben Chilwell, the latter of whom has only played 12 minutes since coming back from a knee problem.<\/p>\n<\/figure>\n
\u201cMalo suffered a minor problem in the ligament in his knee \u2013 I\u2019m not a doctor, but you asked me and I\u2019m trying to translate what is going on,\u201d he revealed. \u201cI hope it\u2019s not a big issue.<\/p>\n
\u201cChilly also, after the national team it\u2019s the same problem that he has been suffering in the last few weeks.\u201d<\/p>\n
