“Palmer Has So Much Talent” – Leboeuf Shows Confidence in His Comeback
Former Chelsea defender Frank Leboeuf has backed Cole Palmer to regain his form soon, despite the midfielder’s recent struggles.
Palmer has gone seven games without a goal contribution for Chelsea, including missing two big chances in their 4-0 win over Southampton. This dip comes after a strong start to the season, where he scored 14 goals and provided six assists in all competitions.
Speaking to ESPN FC, Leboeuf downplayed concerns over Palmer’s slump, pointing out that even football legends like Cristiano Ronaldo, Lionel Messi, and Mohamed Salah have faced similar rough patches.
“He’s been outstanding, scoring goal after goal and standing out as one of the best,” Leboeuf said. “It’s normal for a player to go through a phase where things don’t click. But he has the talent, and I believe he’ll bounce back. He was a bit unlucky—Ramsdale made a great save on one of his chances.
“Even the greatest players have gone through spells where scoring becomes difficult, but Palmer has all the tools to turn things around. He’ll find his rhythm again and deliver for Chelsea.”
Football Club Chelsea has released the full list of their first-team players for the new Premier League season.
The information was published on their official website on August 8, 2025. Chelsea’s 2025/26 squad numbers in full:
1 – Robert Sanchez (GK), (2) Marc Cucurella, (3) Tosin Adarabioyo, (4) Benoit Badiashile, (5) Levi Colwill, (6) Pedro Neto, (7) Enzo Fernandez, (8) Liam Delap, (9) Cole Palmer, (10) Jamie Gittens, (11) Filip Jorgensen (GK), (12) Dario Essugo, (13) Nicolas Jackson, (14) Andrey Santos, (15) Christopher Nkunku, (16) Joao Pedro, (17) Jorrel Hato, (18) Trevoh Chalobah, (19) Reece James, (20) Moises Caicedo, (21) Malo Gusto, (22) Wesley Fofana, (23) Aaron Anselmino, (24) Tyrique George, (25) Josh Acheampong, (26) Estevao, (27) Gabriel Slonina, (28) Romeo Lavia.
Popular American wrestler, John Cena, has revealed the major factor behind his decision to undergo a hair transplant.
Reflecting on his wrestling career, Cena admitted he only became conscious of his hairline after repeated fan comments about it receding. The remarks eventually affected him and made him self-conscious.
“I want to be genuine with that audience. They told me to either fix it or shave my head. They pushed me to see my options,” he said. Cena underwent the procedure in November and returned for his retirement tour in January.
“Successful surgery, but I had to get out there and go. It wasn’t easy,” he added.
Al Nassr captain Cristiano Ronaldo has shared his thoughts on Joao Felix’s move to the Saudi club, saying the midfielder made the right call.
Felix, who recently joined Al Nassr from Chelsea during the summer transfer window, has seen his career take several turns since his breakout at Benfica. After a high-profile move to Atletico Madrid in 2019, he struggled to meet expectations and had loan spells at Barcelona and Chelsea.
Following limited opportunities under Chelsea boss Enzo Maresca, he was loaned to AC Milan earlier this year before sealing his switch to Al Nassr. Ronaldo believes the decision was a smart one, insisting it’s a better move for Felix than returning to play in Portugal. He said the 25-year-old chose the right path by coming to Saudi Arabia.
