According to Sky Sports, Palmer missed training on Thursday due to the ongoing issue ahead of their Premier League clash with Brighton on Saturday (September 27).
Palmer is now a major doubt for the fixture he scored four goals in last season, and it remains to be seen when he will be back to full fitness.
Chelsea will doubtless be hoping their star man can make it after they seriously struggled to overcome League One Lincoln in the Carabao Cup midweek without him.
