• Blues want to check for any hidden hamstring damage
• Chelsea do not play again until hosting Spurs on 3 April

Chelsea are hopeful that Cole Palmer will make a swift return to action despite sending the attacker for a second scan on a hamstring injury.

Palmer sat out his side’s defeat by Arsenal last Sunday and further checks are being made after he went for a scan earlier this week. Chelsea are treating the injury with caution and want to ensure they have not missed any hidden damage.
