BERGAMO, Italy (AP) – Cole Palmer, who has just returned from injury, will be rested ahead of Chelsea’s Champions League trip to Atalanta on Tuesday.<\/p>\n

The England forward made his first start for the club since September in Saturday’s goalless Premier League draw with Bournemouth.<\/p>\n

“Cole is part of that process at the moment,” Chelsea manager Enzo Maresca said in Monday’s pre-match press conference. “He can’t play, he can’t play two games in a row in three days. We planned that and it’s just a way to protect him.”<\/p>\n

Palmer was initially sidelined with a groin issue, but a toe injury delayed his return.<\/p>\n

Liam Delap is also absent due to a shoulder injury sustained against Bournemouth, but Maresca has given a positive update on him. “Liam, fortunately there is no fracture, so that’s good news,” the Italian said. “We don’t know at this stage how long he will be out.”<\/p>\n

Chelsea beat Barcelona 3-0 at Stamford Bridge last time out and are seventh in the Champions League standings.<\/p>\n
