Out with hamstring injury
Palmer is not in the squad for Tuesday's game versus Brighton due to a minor hamstring issue, which has been mentioned by manager Liam Rosenior prior to the game. "Cole's had some tightness in his hamstring, which he's been carrying. He's going to be out for this game, and we'll see how he moves on for the FA Cup semi-final".
Analysis: Palmer is a late absence for the midweek match, with Enzo Fernandez and Pedro Neto appearing in attacking midfield roles. The England international will be questionable for the subsequent FA Cup clash against Leeds United, with his availability depending on how fast he can overcome his injury. He had started seven straight games prior to this issue, though he failed to score or assist in that span.
Goalless outing again
Palmer registered four shots (zero on goal), three crosses (zero accurate) and one chance created in Saturday's 1-0 loss versus Manchester United.
Analysis: Palmer continues his struggles as he tries to get back on the scoresheet, once again without a goal despite his four shots. That said, not a single shot would find the target, with only two shots on target in his past four league outings. With nine goals this season, he is seeing a rough drop from last season, having six fewer with only a couple of games to play, although he had missed time through injury.
