Graham Potter has provided an update on Denis Zakaria's fitness following Chelsea's 1-0 win against Crystal Palace. The Blues moved level on points with Liverpool as Kai Havertz grabbed the winning goal against the Eagles at Stamford Bridge.
A number of key players are currently sidelined through injury for Chelsea, with the likes of Raheem Sterling, Christian Pulisic, Reece James, Ben Chilwell and Wesley Fofana all recovering in the treatment room. Denis Zakaria became the latest absentee after suffering a quadricep injury in the 2-1 defeat against Fulham.
New signings Benoit Badiashile, David Datro Fofana, Andrey Santos and Joao Felix have softened the blow on Potter's squad slightly. Felix was sent off on his debut and will not return until the clash against West Ham next month, whilst Mykhailo Mudryk was unveiled as the Blues' fifth January signing this afternoon.
