Premier League News Roundup: Cole Palmer Poised for Chelsea Comeback; Gueye's Unsuccessful Red Card Appeal Lacks Explanation

First Story: Top Player Palmer Ready for Crucial London Derby with Arsenal

Chelsea manager Enzo Maresca stated on the final weekday that Cole Palmer is available for selection for the squad's important top-flight fixture against local rivals Arsenal.

The young England midfielder was unavailable due to a fractured toe suffered after an accidental occurrence.

“He is ready to start and participate,” Maresca commented. “The whole team is delighted.”

This season, Palmer has been limited to four outings in every contest, scoring twice.

Following his transfer from City in the previous year, he has achieved 45 goals and 29 assists in 101 matches for Chelsea.

“He is our top performer, we are pleased he is back, we need to allow him time to be 100% fit,” Maresca noted. “He has done fantastic in the past and no doubt he is going to do great things for this club in the future.”

Second Story: The Toffees Get No Explanation for Failed Idrissa Gueye Red Card Challenge

Everton were unsuccessful in their challenge against Idrissa Gueye's dismissal for a fight with teammate Michael Keane during the squad's single-goal triumph at Old Trafford.

The veteran Senegalese player was dismissed just early on into the match after hitting Keane amid a dispute over a poor pass.

The player promptly expressed regret, and the teammates were seen reconciled later in a mock social media post.

However, the appeal against the red card was turned down, and Gueye must serve a three-match ban, leaving Everton shorthanded for their upcoming match against Newcastle United.

“We challenged the decision and it was rejected,” coach the manager said. “We received no rationale for the denial but we did appeal it.”

Inquired about any further fallout from the event, Moyes added: “It was over immediately, it was done, that was it, we moved on rapidly and it was all sorted within the dressing room.”

3. Yoane Wissa Practices with Newcastle for First Time since Setback

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

Head coach Eddie Howe announced the development on Friday but kept private a possible comeback timeline for the 29-year-old.

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

Regrettably, Wissa was injured while on national team duty 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. “It was his initial competitive session with the team. Let’s see how he responds today.”

The manager added: “We have a target return date, but it’s likely best if I do not share it publicly. We wish to prevent any disappointment. Naturally, we want to involve him as soon as possible.”

Additionally, the defender will be sidelined for a four-week period with a hamstring injury.

Fourth Story: Liverpool' Poor Form ‘Doesn’t Matter’, Says Hammers Boss Nuno

The Hammers head coach Nuno Espírito Santo has claimed that Liverpool' dip in performance “should not be a focus” as his team gets ready to take on the struggling top-flight title holders.

The Liverpool manager's team has lost six of the last seven Premier League matches, falling out of the upper half of the standings.

However, Nuno highlighted that there can be no complacency 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 commented. “We are preparing to play the title winners, players that are skilled and able of doing great things, so we have to get ready.

“The past of the results before, the performance of the teams, is not that important. It is about the match day. Aware that we are going to face a very good team, that has players capable of doing fantastic things, so we have to be fully prepared, to perform.”

The Hammers will welcome back Lucas Paquetá after his ban, while Crysencio Summerville and Dinos Mavropanos are progressing in their recovery from fitness issues.

5. Gibbs-White in Contention for Forest against Brighton

Nottingham Forest's boss Sean Dyche is optimistic that Morgan Gibbs-White will be ready for the side's home match against Brighton on the weekend.

The England international was absent for the midweek European game against the Swedish side due to a back injury.

“We hope it is improving,” Dyche commented as he got ready to face the Brighton manager's team, who have taken seven points from their last three matches.

“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 anticipating, at this point anyway, that it’s very severe and it’s improving already. So we’re confident that it’ll be fine for the weekend.”

Murillo was feeling his hamstring muscle after the comfortable European win, but Dyche indicated the player “is expected to be okay”.

Meanwhile, the full-back (thigh injury), the midfielder (thigh), the winger (hamstring), the striker (knee), and the defender (hip) are expected to be unavailable.

6. Glasner: Conference League Loss Won't Hinder Palace

Crystal Palace head coach Oliver Glasner feels that the setback of Thursday's European defeat to Strasbourg is a indication of how much progress the club has advanced in challenging on multiple fronts.

The FA Cup winners went ahead at the away ground through Tyrick Mitchell's first-half goal but were equalized against by Liam Rosenior's team, who climbed to second in the table.

Crystal Palace now return to domestic competition with a at Selhurst Park match against Manchester United, and Glasner is optimistic his team can keep up their push for a Champions League place.

“Comparable to the recent setback at Goodison Park, it just feels that it was entirely needless and it is our fault,” Glasner said. “However, we have to accept 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 Sunday's match after he did not travel to France, but Will Hughes, who went off during the opening period against Strasbourg, is expected to be in the matchday squad.
