No more excuses: Alonso says Palmer’s injury issues are behind him

Cole Palmer, once plagued by injuries and fitness concerns, appears to be on the mend according to his manager, Xabi Alonso. The Spanish midfielder has expressed his belief that Palmer has overcome his recent difficulties and is now focused on improving his performances for the upcoming season. Alonso emphasized that it's often through challenging moments, such as injuries, that players learn and grow stronger.

Since the preseason began, Palmer has been putting in considerable effort to prevent any recurrence of his previous symptoms. With a new manager who is determined to make Palmer the centerpiece of the team, there seems to be renewed motivation for the young player. No longer will excuses be made for Palmer's lackluster performances; the focus is now on delivering consistently for Chelsea.
