LONDON (Reuters) -Chelsea have decided to rest attacking midfielder Cole Palmer for the next two to three weeks to help him recover from injury, manager Enzo Maresca told reporters on Friday.

England international Palmer suffered a groin injury last month, but returned to action with back-to-back goals against Brentford and Bayern Munich. However, the 23-year-old was forced off the field with injury during Saturday's 2-1 loss at Manchester United.
