Palmer suffered a new injury after the incident with Hato: what happened.

According to The Sun: Chelsea fans are outraged after Yorrell Hato seemingly 'added another month' to Cole Palmer's injury.

The attacking player missed the match when the 'Blues' achieved a dramatic victory in stoppage time over reigning champions Liverpool.

Palmer, who is 23 years old, left the field during a loss to Manchester United in September due to a groin injury. He was thought to be close to returning, but the match against the 'Reds' proved to be too early.

He became one of EIGHT Chelsea players who missed this match due to injuries and suspensions.

The team's injury situation worsened during the match, as both Benoit Badiashile and Josh Achampong were forced to leave the field.

They joined Levi Colwill, Dario Essugo, and Liam Delap, who have ongoing health issues.

Chelsea also lost Tosin Adarabioyo and Andrii Santos.

Fans were concerned about Palmer's condition after Hato's actions shortly after the final whistle, as players celebrated Estevão's winning goal in the 95th minute.

Hato, 19, jokingly jumped on Palmer, causing him to feel pain, and he grabbed his groin again.

Fans are worried about the condition of the former Manchester City player, noticing how he checked his injury.

Social media was filled with comments: one user wrote:

“Hato did this at the end of the match with Palmer. His injury really looks bad.”

Another noted:

“This looks really not good.”

A third added:

“What is Hato doing?!”

A fourth said:

“That’s another two months for him.”

Another user added:

“He is just adding another month to Palmer's injury for no reason.”

Before the victory, manager Enzo Maerska confirmed that there is currently no news regarding Palmer’s return, although he looked optimistic about his possible recovery after the international break. He said:

“I currently have no news [regarding Palmer]. We will have a meeting this week to find out how things are going, and then we will decide [if he can return after the international break].”

Palmer will miss the friendly match against Wales at Wembley on Thursday.

Chelsea's Match Situation

He will also not be able to participate in the qualifying match for the World Cup in Latvia at 'Daugava' Stadium in Riga on October 14.

Chelsea will next take the field on October 18 when they head to 'City Ground' Stadium for a meeting with Nottingham Forest.

Maerska will not be on the bench during the match as he was sent off after the winning goal, receiving a second yellow card for celebrating.

Now assistant coach Willy Caballero will be in charge of the team in the match against 'Forest'.

Considering the numerous injuries, Chelsea find themselves in a difficult position as the team not only loses key players but also risks launching their own game in a tough period for them. The coaching staff continues to monitor Palmer's condition and that of other injured players. Amid these difficulties, the match against 'Forest' will be an important test for the team and its coach.
