COLE'S NOT GONE COLD ON BLUES

Star's reaction down to pain, says boss

LIAM ROSENIOR has insisted Cole Palmer is "very, very happy" at Chelsea despite rumours linking him with a move to Manchester United.

There has been speculation over the past few days that the 23-year-old, who has been at the Blues since joining from Manchester City in 2023, is feeling unsettled and homesick down in the south.

Palmer has played only 13 times this season in all competitions due to a persistent groin injury and other minor muscular problems.

He cut a frustrated figure during Chelsea's win against Brentford last weekend.

Even after scoring from the penalty spot, the England star's celebrations were muted and questions were raised about his body language.
