Cole Palmer‘s dry spell in front of goal has not had an adverse effect on the Chelsea attacking midfielder’s mood, manager Enzo Maresca said ahead of a Premier League meeting with Leicester City.
England international Palmer, who netted 27 goals and bagged 15 assists in a breakout campaign last season, has failed to score in his last eight games in all competitions and has missed a number of promising chances in recent matches.
“When you score a goal you are more happy because your goals help the team to win. But overall Cole is fine. He’s happy,” Maresca told a news conference on Friday.
“He knows he’s struggled to score goals in this moment but that it’s something normal that during the season can happen. Watching him during the training session you don’t think it’s affecting him, he’s fantastic.”
