Premier League News Roundup: Palmer Poised for The Blues Return; Gueye's Unsuccessful Red Card Appeal Mystery

1. Top Player Palmer Available for Important Capital Derby with Arsenal

Chelsea head coach Enzo Maresca stated on Friday that Cole Palmer is set to return for the team's significant Premier League match against local opponents Arsenal.

The 23-year-old English international had been sidelined due to a fractured toe suffered after an unfortunate incident.

“He is fit to begin and feature,” Maresca said. “All involved are pleased.”

This season, Palmer has featured in just four games in every contest, finding the net on two occasions.

After joining from City in the previous year, he has recorded 45 scores and 29 helpers in 101 appearances for the London club.

“He is our best player, we are happy he is back, we need to provide him with time to be completely ready,” Maresca noted. “His past performances have been excellent and no doubt he is going to do exceptionally well for this club in the future.”

Second Story: Everton Get No Reason for Rejected Gueye Dismissal Appeal

The Merseyside club have failed in their protest against Idrissa Gueye's red card for a fight with teammate Michael Keane during the team's 1-0 victory at Manchester United.

The veteran Senegal player was dismissed only 13 minutes into the game after slapping Keane during a dispute over a poor pass.

Gueye immediately apologized, and the pair were seen reconciled later in a mock online video.

However, the appeal against the dismissal was denied, and Gueye must complete a three-match suspension, making Everton depleted for their upcoming match against Newcastle United.

“We lodged an appeal and it was unsuccessful,” manager the manager said. “No explanation was provided for the rejection but we did appeal it.”

Inquired about additional consequences from the incident, Moyes added: “It ended right away, it was done, that was it, we moved on quite quickly and it was all sorted within the team environment.”

3. Yoane Wissa Practices with The Magpies for First Time since Injury

Newcastle United's new signing Yoane Wissa has trained with his new teammates for the first time since sustaining a knee problem shortly after his move from Brentford in the autumn.

Manager Eddie Howe confirmed the development on Friday but did not disclose a possible return date for the player.

Newcastle signed the striker for £55m to replace Alexander Isak, who joined Liverpool for a British record transfer fee.

Regrettably, Wissa was injured while on national team duty before he could play his first game for his new club.

“He is doing well, he trained with us for the first time on midweek, so I was really pleased with how he looked,” Howe stated. “This marked his debut in a competitive setting with the squad. Let’s see how he responds today.”

Howe added: “We have a target return date, but it’s likely best if I do not share it publicly. We don’t want to disappoint anyone. Of course, we want to involve him as quickly.”

Additionally, Kieran Trippier will be out of action for a four-week period with a hamstring issue.

Fourth Story: The Reds' Slump ‘Irrelevant’, Insists Hammers Boss Nuno

The Hammers head coach Nuno Espírito Santo has claimed that the reigning champions' current slump “should not be a focus” as his side gets ready to take on the ailing Premier League title holders.

Arne Slot's team has been defeated in six of their previous seven Premier League matches, falling out of the upper half of the table.

However, Nuno highlighted that there can be no complacency when the sides meet on Sunday at the London Stadium.

“Liverpool are a quality side and in football, what counts is what you do on the day,” Nuno said. “We are preparing to play the title winners, players that are talented and capable of doing fantastic things, so we have to prepare.

“The past of the outcomes before, the performance of the teams, is not that important. It is about the day. Knowing that we are going to face a excellent team, that has players capable of doing amazing feats, so we have to prepare thoroughly, to perform.”

The Hammers will welcome back Lucas Paquetá after his ban, while Crysencio Summerville and Dinos Mavropanos are stepping up their return from fitness issues.

5. Morgan Gibbs-White in Contention for Forest against The Seagulls

The club's manager Sean Dyche is optimistic that Morgan Gibbs-White will be ready for the side's at home fixture against Brighton on Sunday.

The English international was absent for the midweek European game against Malmö due to a back injury.

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

“It’s like a bad back, but a morning sort of injury, one where you just rest awkwardly or move improperly. So we’re not anticipating, at this point anyway, that it’s very severe and it’s improving already. So we’re hopeful that it’ll be okay for the weekend.”

Murillo was experiencing discomfort in his hamstring after the comfortable Europa League victory, but Dyche indicated the player “is expected to be okay”.

However, the full-back (thigh injury), the midfielder (thigh), the winger (hamstring), Chris Wood (knee), and the defender (hip) are likely to miss out.

6. Oliver Glasner: Conference League Loss Will Not Hinder Crystal Palace

Crystal Palace head coach Oliver Glasner believes that the setback of midweek's European defeat to the French side is a sign of how much progress the team has advanced in challenging on two fronts.

The FA Cup winners went ahead at Stade de la Meinau through Tyrick Mitchell's opening period goal but were pegged back by Liam Rosenior's side, who moved up to runner-up in the table.

The Eagles now return to Premier League action with a home match against Manchester United, and Glasner is optimistic his side can keep up their push for a Champions League spot.

“Comparable to the recent setback at Goodison Park, it just feels that it was entirely needless and it is our fault,” Glasner said. “On the other side, we have to accept it. The commitment was there but it is a game we ought not to have lost.”

Glasner stated that Borna Sosa would be absent for Sunday's game after he stayed behind to France, but Will Hughes, who was substituted during the opening period against Strasbourg, is expected to be in the team selection.
