Cole Palmer Nods In Support of Noni Madueke Boos<\/h2>\n

Noni Madueke was met with a torrent of boos upon his return to Stamford Bridge on Sunday.<\/p>\n

The England international spent two years at Chelsea after joining from PSV Eindhoven for around \u00a328.5million in 2023 but opted to join Arsenal in a move worth up to \u00a352m last summer.<\/p>\n

Madueke, having netted his first Gunners goal in their midweek Champions League win over Bayern Munich, was brought on by Mikel Arteta 57 minutes into the feisty all-London affair.<\/p>\n

Replacing Gabriel Martinelli, the 23-year-old was hounded with boos by the home supporters.<\/p>\n

Seemingly in an act of support, Chelsea attacking midfielder Cole Palmer turned to the fans and nodded in approval before turning away with a smirk on his face.<\/p>\n

Palmer was fit to start<\/a> against Arsenal after recovering from a groin injury and a fractured toe, however the Manchester City academy graduate failed to make it onto the pitch.<\/p>\n

It was his first involvement in a matchday squad in over two months, having last featured in his side’s 2-1 defeat away at Manchester United back in September.<\/p>\n

Luckily for Blues fans, their boos didn’t come back to bite them. Madueke was unable to help his side claim all three points, as they were forced to settle for a point after a 1-1 draw.<\/p>\n

Trevoh Chalobah gave the hosts an initial lead before Mikel Merino drew the visitors level.<\/p>\n

Already an impressive result as is, the point was made even more impressive from Chelsea’s perspective as key midfielder Moises Caicedo was shown a straight red card in the first half.<\/p>\n

He will now miss three games through suspension due to his dismissal for serious foul play.<\/span><\/p>\n

Fixtures Caicedo will miss<\/span><\/a> include Leeds, Bournemouth and Everton.<\/span><\/p>\n

Enzo Maresca’s side now sit in third place in the Premier League table, six points behind Arsenal, while the Gunners sit five points clear of second-place Manchester City at the summit.<\/p>\n
