💨 Abstract

John Obi Mikel has expressed concerns about Cole Palmer's recent performances for Chelsea. Palmer, who had a standout first season, struggled during the 2024-25 campaign, scoring only one Premier League goal from mid-January onwards. Against Flamengo in the Club World Cup, Palmer had a quiet game, being replaced late on. Mikel suggests that Palmer has become a "marked man" and needs to adapt his play, potentially with help from the manager.
