Chelsea's Cole Palmer has announced his return to the club's training ahead of the new season in style.

The Premier League outfit’s 2023/24 Player of the Season took to social media to share his return with fans as the new season approaches.

On his Instagram handle, the UEFA Euro 2024 silver medalist posted a three-word message to announce his arrival. "Back to it," he captioned.

Chelsea fans could not have wished for better timing for the return of their mercurial forward, especially considering that their current attacking setup appears to lack some coherence under new manager Enzo Maresca.

Chelsea's struggle under Maresca

While it can still be considered early days under the Italian gaffer, it must be stressed that the early signs appear to be worrying.

According to data courtesy of Fotmob, in the five fixtures the former Leicester City manager has overseen, Chelsea have recorded only one victory and three defeats, including an embarrassing 4-1 loss to Scottish club, Celtic and a defeat to Premier League rivals, Manchester City.

The West London club also struggled to a draw against League One side, Wrexham.

The return of Palmer to the club could bring about a positive change for Chelsea ahead of their opening league fixture.

The young forward, who arrived from Manchester City, largely helped stabilize the dwindling form of the London club.
