EPL News Roundup: Cole Palmer Poised for Chelsea Comeback; Gueye's Failed Appeal Mystery

1. Top Player Palmer Ready for Crucial Capital Clash with The Gunners

Chelsea head coach Enzo Maresca stated on the final weekday that Cole Palmer is set to return for the team's vital Premier League match against local opponents Arsenal.

The 23-year-old England international was out of action due to a fractured toe incurred after an unfortunate occurrence.

“He is available to start and to play,” Maresca said. “All involved are pleased.”

This season, Palmer has been limited to four outings in every contest, netting two goals.

Since his arrival from Manchester City in the previous year, he has recorded 45 strikes and 29 setups in 101 appearances for the London club.

“He is our best player, we are delighted he is back, we need to provide him with time to be fully fit,” Maresca continued. “He has been brilliant historically and no doubt he is going to do very good for this club in the future.”

Second Story: The Toffees Get No Reason for Failed Idrissa Gueye Red Card Appeal

The Merseyside club have failed in their challenge against Idrissa Gueye's sending off for a physical confrontation with fellow player Michael Keane during the squad's single-goal triumph at Manchester United.

The veteran Senegal player was shown a red card just 13 minutes into the match after hitting Keane amid a argument over a poor pass.

The player immediately apologized, and the teammates appeared making up later in a light-hearted online post.

However, the challenge against the red card was turned down, and Gueye must complete a three-game ban, leaving Everton short-staffed for their upcoming fixture against Newcastle.

“We have appealed it and our appeal was turned down,” manager the manager said. “We received no rationale for the denial but we did appeal it.”

When asked about more issues from the event, Moyes continued: “The matter was resolved instantly, it was done, that was it, we progressed rapidly and it was all sorted within the dressing room.”

3. Yoane Wissa Trains with Newcastle for First Time since Injury

Newcastle United's new signing Yoane Wissa has practiced with his squad for the initial occasion since sustaining a knee problem soon after his move from Brentford in the autumn.

Manager Eddie Howe announced the development on Friday but withheld a possible return date for the 29-year-old.

Newcastle brought in the striker for £55m to replace Alexander Isak, who joined Liverpool for a British record sum.

Unfortunately, Wissa was injured while on national team service before he could make his debut for his new club.

“He is progressing nicely, he trained with us for the first time on midweek, so I was extremely satisfied with how he looked,” Howe stated. “That’s his first time competitively with the group. Let’s see how he reacts today.”

The manager added: “We have a target return date, but it’s probably best if I do not share it publicly. We aim to avoid letting people down. Of course, we want to involve him as promptly.”

Additionally, Kieran Trippier will be sidelined for a four-week period with a hamstring issue.

4. Liverpool' Slump ‘Doesn’t Matter’, Insists Hammers Boss Nuno

The Hammers head coach Nuno Espírito Santo has stated that the reigning champions' recent poor form “should not be a focus” as his team gets ready to face the ailing Premier League title holders.

The Liverpool manager's side has been defeated in six of their previous seven Premier League matches, dropping out of the top 10 of the standings.

Nevertheless, Nuno emphasized that there can be no taking it easy when the sides clash on Sunday at the their home ground.

“The Reds are a strong team and in football, what counts is what you do on the day,” Nuno remarked. “So what we expect is the champions of the Premier League, players that are talented and able of doing good things, so we have to prepare.

“The history of the results before, the performance of the teams, doesn’t really matter. It is about the match day. Knowing that we are going to face a excellent team, that has players capable of doing fantastic things, so we have to get ready, to perform.”

West Ham will have available Lucas Paquetá after his suspension, while Crysencio Summerville and Dinos Mavropanos are stepping up their recovery from fitness issues.

5. Morgan Gibbs-White in Contention for Nottingham Forest against Brighton

Nottingham Forest's boss Sean Dyche is hopeful that Morgan Gibbs-White will be fit for the team's at home fixture against Brighton on the weekend.

The English international was absent for the midweek Europa League match against the Swedish side due to a back issue.

“Fortunately, it seems to be calming down,” Dyche commented as he prepared to face Fabian Hürzeler's team, who have taken seven points from their past three outings.

“It’s comparable to back pain, but a waking-up sort of injury, one where you just sleep funny or twist funny. So we’re not expecting, at this stage anyway, that it’s too serious and it’s settling down already. So we’re hopeful that it’ll be right for the weekend.”

Murillo was experiencing discomfort in his hamstring muscle after the comfortable Europa League victory, but Dyche said the player “is expected to be okay”.

Meanwhile, Ola Aina (thigh injury), Douglas Luiz (thigh), the winger (hamstring), the striker (knee), and the defender (hip) are likely to miss out.

Sixth Story: Oliver Glasner: Conference League Defeat Won't Hinder Palace

The Eagles manager Oliver Glasner believes that the setback of midweek's Conference League loss to Strasbourg is a sign of how much progress the team has advanced in competing on two fronts.

The domestic cup winners went ahead at Stade de la Meinau through Tyrick Mitchell's opening period goal but were equalized against by Liam Rosenior's side, who climbed to second in the group standings.

The Eagles now return to Premier League action with a at Selhurst Park match against the Red Devils, and Glasner is optimistic his team can maintain their challenge for a top four place.

“Similar to the late loss against Everton, it just feels that it was completely unnecessary and it is our fault,” Glasner remarked. “Alternatively, we have to acknowledge it. The effort was there but it is a game we shouldn’t definitely lose.”

Glasner stated that Borna Sosa would not be available for the weekend's match after he did not travel to France, but Will Hughes, who was substituted during the first half against Strasbourg, should be in the team selection.
