AC Milan given injury boost ahead of Champions League clash vs Chelsea amid Hakim Ziyech absence

Chelsea will be hoping to repeat their brilliant 3-0 win against AC Milan on Tuesday evening with the Italian giants facing a number of injury concerns.

Both teams have key players that are set to miss the Champions League clash through injury, including £75million summer signing Wesley Fofana who suffered a sprain knee in the Blues' win against Milan last week. Edouard Mendy returned to the matchday squad for Graham Potter's side at the weekend, but it remains to be seen whether he will replace Kepa Arrizabalaga in goal.

Rafael Leao is set to be the key threat for Milan as the Portuguese forward continues to be linked with a transfer to Stamford Bridge next summer. Potter's side can take a huge step towards qualification from Group E if they can pick up a win against the Serie A champions with Chelsea currently level on points with the Italian outfit.
