“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.”
Ghanaian Referee, Daniel Laryea, who officiated the Nigeria vs Morocco game in AFCON gets interviews and shared his experience.
The referee reveals how it was his first time in a semi final and was kind of nervous. “I’ve been to three AFCON tournaments, but this is the first time I’ve been in a semi-final.”
“So when coaches choose you for that game, they know your skills and what you can do. But of course, you feel a little nervous because of the level of the match.”
Nigerian Footballer, Bright Osayi-Samuel , react to match as Super Eagles lose to Morocco.
The player calls out CAF for their referee appointment. He shares how the Ghanaian Referee was tough on the field and made bad choices.
“One thing I would say is that the referee was really bad. I’m not saying that was the reason we lost. He is making really bad choices and it’s really tough to watch because we have referees like this in big games like today.
He then praises Morocco for a good game “But Morocco did really well.”
Super Eagles Coach, Eric Chelle speaks and shared why Nigeria lost the AFCON match to Morocco.
It can be noted that the match was held on the 14th of January, 2026. Nigeria lost the match with a draft in the penalties, 4-2.
During a recent interview, Chelle shared his observations about the match and shared why they lost.
“From a technical point of view, the Super Eagles weren’t at the same level as we displayed in our other matches.”
“I don’t want to say the reason was fatigue, but the truth is that we lacked movement and power.”
