As they progressed to the Champions League’s top eight, Palmer made a significant impact with two assists to Joao Pedro, hinting at Chelsea’s potential for greater achievements. The team has scored 16 goals while conceding six in Rosenior’s tenure, showing a strong attacking presence.

Next, Chelsea will face West Ham United, who are struggling in the relegation zone, yet recently managed two wins under coach Nuno Espirito Santo. A loss against West Ham could raise questions about the team’s consistency.

As they approach the EFL Cup semifinals against Arsenal, the stakes are high. Reintegrating Palmer effectively will be crucial for Chelsea’s ambitions this season.
