BRIGHTON, England (AP) – Chelsea winger Cole Palmer and forward Joao Pedro missed Tuesday’s Premier League game against Brighton due to lingering injuries, manager Liam Rosenior said.<\/p>\n

Palmer played the full game in Chelsea’s 1-0 defeat to Manchester United on Saturday, taking his total to 10 goals this season.<\/p>\n

“Cole has a bit of a tightness in his hamstring and that’s what caused it,” Rosenior told Sky Sports before kick-off. \u201cHe will miss this game but we will see how he does for the FA Cup semi-final.\u201d<\/p>\n

Chelsea face Leeds in the FA Cup last four at Wembley Stadium on Sunday.<\/p>\n

Rosenior’s side have lost four consecutive games in the Premier League, each without scoring.<\/p>\n

Pedro has scored 19 goals in all competitions this season. He suffered a thigh injury and missed Saturday’s game against United.<\/p>\n

Rosenior said he expected Brazil’s players to be ready for Sunday’s match at Wembley.<\/p>\n
