Story highlights

Enzo Maresca said that 23-year-old Palmer, who had just returned to training after two months out with a groin injury, had suffered the injury at home.

Chelsea and England forward Cole Palmer will miss two Premier League games and the Champions League clash with Barcelona next week after fracturing a toe, coach Enzo Maresca said on Friday.

Maresca said that 23-year-old Palmer, who had just returned to training after two months out with a groin injury, had suffered the injury at home.

He apparently stubbed his toe on a door at night.

Palmer will be sidelined for Saturday's trip to Burnley, the home game against Barcelona on Tuesday and next weekend's Premier League match against leaders Arsenal.

"He is probably not available for tomorrow for sure, Barcelona for sure or Arsenal for sure," said Maresca.

"Unfortunately, he had an accident at home where he hit his toe but it is nothing important -- but he won't be back in the next week."

Palmer scored twice when Chelsea won the Club World Cup final against Paris Saint-Germain in July and is expected to be an integral part of the England squad at the World Cup next year.
