Missing their talisman, Chelsea fell to a 1-0 defeat at the Emirates, with Mikel Merino’s first-half header proving the difference in a game devoid of attackng quality.
However, Maresca hinte that the midfielder may now be unavailable after his latest knock.
‘I don’t think so (that Palmer will be available for England) to be honest because his injury was from yesterday’s (Saturday’s) session,’ the Italian said post-match.
‘It’s a muscular problem. He needs a scan and it’s planne for Monday.’

‘It’s not just about one player. When I say we cannot rely on Cole, it’s correct to say because you cannot rely on one player.
‘It’s about the team and don’t give too much pressure on Cole.’ Palmer was set to go away on international duty next week having calle up to Thomas Tuchel’s first England squad.
