Cole Palmer's Goal-Scoring Struggles: A Mental Battle for Chelsea Striker

Chelsea forward Cole Palmer's goal drought is a mental issue, says boss Enzo Maresca.

Chelsea forward Cole Palmer's recent performances on the pitch have raised concerns. The 22-year-old England international, who had a successful start to the season with 14 goals in 23 games, has now gone 16 games without scoring. Despite having more shots than any other Premier League player during this goalless spell (41 efforts), the problem seems to be mental, according to manager Enzo Maresca. Maresca also commented on the team's season and his absence from the upcoming game against Everton.
