In the pre-match press conference ahead of the game against Burnley, the Italian manager announced a new setback for the England international. “No, he won’t be available tomorrow, and he won’t be available against Barcelona or Arsenal. Unfortunately, he suffered an injury at homehe fractured his big toe just as he had recovered from the groin injury. It’s nothing serious, but he definitely won’t be back next week. We’re not completely sure, but there is a fracture. All we know is that he won’t be available this week or next. I often wake up at night to go to the bathroom, I bump my head, my leg, everything. These things happen,” Maresca said. Palmer has been out since September 20.
