Chelsea have reportedly moved to restrict Cole Palmer’s physiotherapy sessions following claims that the midfielder had been spending unusually long periods receiving massages at the club's training facility.

According to Turkish sports publications Ajansspor and Haberler, the England international had allegedly been visiting the club's physiotherapy department regularly for massage sessions lasting as long as two hours.

The reports claim that Palmer's frequent visits raised eyebrows within the club, prompting management to step in and limit the time he could spend receiving treatment.

While massage therapy is a normal part of recovery for professional footballers, the reported duration of Palmer's sessions has raised questions, particularly over the claims that he was not dealing with an active injury.

Football clubs routinely employ physiotherapists to help players recover from muscle fatigue, manage physical discomfort and maintain their fitness throughout a demanding season.

However, the claims surrounding Palmer have generated considerable discussion on social media, with supporters sharing different reactions to the unusual reports.

Palmer joined Chelsea from Manchester City in 2023 and quickly became one of the club's most influential players. His creativity, goalscoring ability and performances have made him a key figure in the team's attacking department.

The 24-year-old has also experienced injury setbacks, making his fitness and recovery an important part of Chelsea's season.

For now, attention remains on the reported decision to limit his physiotherapy sessions.
