Chelsea boss Pochettino coy on penalty taker in Palmer absence

Chelsea boss Mauricio Pochettino says there's plenty of alternatives to Cole Palmer in terms of penalty takers.

Palmer is set to miss tonight's clash with Arsenal.

Pochettino said: “I will decide when I pick the starting XI, but we have players who can shoot, like Noni Madueke, Gallagher, Fernandez, or even Jackson.

“I still have not decided who it is going to be. It will depend. Of course, there is Mudryk.

“We have plenty of good takers in the squad. When I decide the starting XI tomorrow I will decide who takes."
