Requested if he thought-about Palmer untouchable and if the 23-year-old is comfortable at Stamford Bridge, Rosenior advised a press convention: “Sure and sure. Cole is an unimaginable participant, like I’ve the man sitting subsequent to me [Moises Caicedo] and plenty of gamers within the group.
“I’m not stunned on the timing, a brand new supervisor is available in and a participant is unsettled. It’s not true. Cole is right here, he’s very comfortable and I can’t wait to see him again on the pitch.”
Rosenior was pressed on whether or not he had held any discussions over Palmer’s future with Chelsea’s co-sporting administrators Paul Winstanley and Laurence Stewart.
