Did Cole Palmer Wear a Rasta Beanie at the Notting Hill Carnival?

The English footballer, who missed his side’s second game of the 2025/26 season due to injury, posted on his Instagram Stories that he was among the people who sang and danced on the street while gracefully donning interesting and colourful costumes.

Honouring the theme, Palmer donned a knitted Rasta beanie with attached dreadlocks and a black mask – maybe he was protecting his identity as he’s a rich and famous footballer.

He posted a video of revellers partying to music blaring from a gigantic sound system and a picture of himself in disguise. He captioned it:

“Blendinggg.”

Why Did Palmer Miss the Chelsea vs West Ham United Match?

Palmer was named in Enzo Maresca’s starting XI against West Ham United but reportedly picked up an injury during pre-match warm-up. According to a report by The Pride of London, he could be sidelined for around 4 to 6 weeks.

Chelsea beat the hosts 5-1 on Friday, 22 August, after the England international pulled out of the West Ham game. Lucas Paquetá scored first for the home side as early as the 6th minute.
