Cole Palmer starred in Chelsea's hard-fought 3-2 victory over Fulham, contributing significantly with a goal and an assist. Following the game, the midfielder was eager to share his thoughts on his readiness for the new season after an injury-plagued campaign last term.
While speaking to Sky Sports, when asked about his preparedness for the season, Palmer responded with a grin:
Did you even watch the match?
Just joking. I’m ready.
Last season was tough due to injuries and various challenges, but I worked hard over the summer and during my return. Given my injury issues, I've focused heavily on prevention and have been diligent about that every day.
I know the talent I possess, so I’m capable of putting in performances like that.
Typically, I’m not an overly emotional person. Those who know me understand that not much bothers me in life. However, this summer I took time to rest and reset, and now I’m ready. I’m hungry.
