No accidental in A (→FEGE1)

 in EE & GE2 (→GE3GE4)

Our suggestion

Before the 2nd semiquaver of the last group, there is no accidental in A (→FEGE1), which formally gives c2. A few accidentals, overlooked in A in bars 57-60, allow for assuming Chopin's inattention also in this case. In the entire 4-bar section, in the parts of both hands he used only the notes of the key of F major as transitional notes (second semiquavers of each group). Deviation from this rule in the last figure, based on a chord which directly introduces this key, would be completely incomprehensible. The natural was added in EE and GE2 (→GE3GE4).
