Enzo Maresca revealed that Palmer had diarrhoeaCredit: APMarc Cucurella’s second-half strike against Leicester City sent the Blues back into the top four.
Palmer — whose perfect record of 15 spot-kicks for club and country was KO’d by Mads Hermansen — went straight to the loo after being subbed off.
And boss Enzo Maresca said: “Cole didn’t train on Saturday. During the night he didn’t feel well.
“This morning he woke up and said, ‘I want to be on the pitch to help us play in the Champions League’.

“But he asked to play and this shows how he wants to bring this club where it belongs.”
Cole’s first-half penalty woe came when Jadon Sancho was fouled by Victor Kristiansen.
Maresca celebrated wildly at the final whistle and revealed Leicester’s tactical trickery meant Chelsea’s pre-match plans had to be ripped up just minutes before kick-off.

The Italian said: “I am happy. The main reason is because when we prepare a game, we watch as many games as possible.
“So we watched Leicester and they always played with a line of four.
“They arrived here with a line of five. So all our sessions were rubbish.
“I understand when there is a negative feeling. But today, how many chances did we create in the first half?
“People have to understand this is our style and way we’re going to play.
“When a team creates the amount of chances we did today, you have to be happy. It’s not easy.
“If you think football is just a PlayStation and you win easily — no way. Every game is difficult. We need our fans.”
The Foxes are six points adrift of Prem safety with ten matches left.

“We don’t know if we will run out of time. What we do know is we have today and tomorrow.”
