Chelsea have delivered an update on five players who have faced spells in the treatment room over recent weeks. Graham Potter was forced to be without this quintet for Tuesday’s crucial Champions League victory against Borussia Dortmund, but could have some more options available to him this weekend.
Firstly, the club has said this weekend could come too soon for the long-awaited return of N’Golo Kante. They claimed he “may not quite be ready to feature against his former club”, after suffering a hamstring injury against Tottenham.
He is yet to play under Potter, but has recently returned to first-team training and was spotted during Thursday’s pre-match session. Elsewhere Armando Broja and Thiago Silva are definitely sidelined with their respective knee injuries.
