Premier League News Roundup: Palmer Poised for The Blues Comeback; Gueye's Failed Red Card Appeal Lacks Explanation

1. Key Talent Palmer Available for Crucial Capital Clash with The Gunners

Chelsea manager Enzo Maresca confirmed on the final weekday that Cole Palmer is available for selection for the squad's vital top-flight match against London rivals Arsenal.

The young England international was out of action due to a broken toe sustained after an unfortunate occurrence.

“He is ready to start and participate,” Maresca declared. “All involved are pleased.”

This season, Palmer has featured in just four games in every contest, scoring twice.

Since his arrival from City in the previous year, he has notched 45 scores and 29 helpers in 101 matches for Chelsea.

“He is our top performer, we are delighted he is back, we need to provide him with time to be completely ready,” Maresca added. “His past performances have been excellent and no doubt he is going to do great things for this club in the future.”

Second Story: The Toffees Get No Reason for Failed Idrissa Gueye Red Card Appeal

Everton were unsuccessful in their protest against Idrissa Gueye's red card for a physical confrontation with fellow player Michael Keane during the team's 1-0 victory at Old Trafford.

The veteran Senegalese player was sent off just early on into the contest after striking Keane amid a argument over a poor pass.

Gueye immediately apologized, and the pair appeared making up afterwards in a mock social media video.

However, the appeal against the dismissal was turned down, and Gueye must serve a three-game suspension, leaving Everton shorthanded for their next fixture against Newcastle.

“We challenged the decision and it was rejected,” coach David Moyes said. “No explanation was provided for the rejection but we did appeal it.”

Inquired about more issues from the event, Moyes added: “It ended right away, it was done, that was it, we moved on rapidly and it was all sorted within the team environment.”

3. Yoane Wissa Trains with Newcastle for Initial Session since Setback

Newcastle United's new acquisition Yoane Wissa has practiced with his squad for the initial occasion since suffering a knee injury shortly after his arrival from Brentford in September.

Head coach Eddie Howe announced the development on the end of the week but did not disclose a potential comeback timeline for the player.

The team brought in the forward for £55m to fill the void left by Alexander Isak, who moved to Liverpool for a British record transfer fee.

Regrettably, Wissa was injured while on international service before he could play his first game 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 said. “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 aim to avoid letting people down. Naturally, we want to utilize him as promptly.”

In other news, Kieran Trippier will be out of action for a month with a hamstring injury.

Fourth Story: The Reds' Poor Form ‘Irrelevant’, Says Hammers Boss Nuno

West Ham United head coach Nuno Espírito Santo has stated that Liverpool' recent poor form “is largely irrelevant” as his team gets ready to take on the struggling top-flight title holders.

Arne Slot's side has suffered six losses in seven recent Premier League matches, falling out of the top 10 of the standings.

However, Nuno highlighted that there can be no taking it easy when the teams meet on Sunday at the London Stadium.

“The Reds are a strong team and in football, what counts is what you do on the day,” Nuno commented. “We anticipate facing the league champions, players that are talented and able of doing good things, so we have to get ready.

“The history of the outcomes before, the form of the teams, is not that important. It is about the day. Knowing that we are going to face a high-quality team, that has players capable of doing amazing feats, so we have to prepare thoroughly, to challenge.”

West Ham will welcome back Lucas Paquetá after his suspension, while Crysencio Summerville and Dinos Mavropanos are progressing in their recovery from injury.

Fifth Story: Morgan Gibbs-White Could Feature for Nottingham Forest against Brighton

Nottingham Forest's manager Sean Dyche is hopeful that Morgan Gibbs-White will be ready for the side's home fixture against Brighton & Hove Albion on Sunday.

The England player was absent for Thursday's European game against Malmö due to a back injury.

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

“It’s like a bad back, but a waking-up sort of injury, one where you just sleep funny or move improperly. So we’re not anticipating, at this stage anyway, that it’s too serious and it’s improving already. So we’re confident that it’ll be okay for the weekend.”

Murillo was experiencing discomfort in his hamstring muscle after the 3-0 Europa League victory, but Dyche indicated the player “will likely be available”.

Meanwhile, the full-back (thigh injury), the midfielder (thigh), Dilane Bakwa (hamstring), the striker (knee), and Oleksandr Zinchenko (hip) are likely to be unavailable.

6. Oliver Glasner: European Loss Will Not Set Back Crystal Palace

Crystal Palace head coach Oliver Glasner believes that the disappointment of midweek's Conference League loss to the French side is a indication of how far the club has advanced in challenging on multiple fronts.

The domestic cup winners went ahead at the away ground through Tyrick Mitchell's first-half goal but were equalized against by the opposition manager's side, who climbed to runner-up in the table.

The Eagles now switch focus to Premier League competition with a home fixture against the Red Devils, and Glasner is confident his side can maintain 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. “Alternatively, we have to acknowledge it. The commitment was there but it is a game we could have avoided losing.”

Glasner confirmed 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 first half against the opponents, should be in the matchday squad.
