Chelsea are enduring one of their worst seasons in the Premier League under Graham Potter after he replaced Thomas Tuchel as manager in September last year. Despite spending over £600million on new signings, the Blues sit 10th in the table and need to overturn a first leg 1-0 deficit against Borussia Dortmund to keep their Champions League campaign alive.
Injuries have hampered the west London outfit throughout the season, most notably with N'Golo Kante being absent since August after sustaining a hamstring injury which he aggravated in December. football.london understands the Frenchman is likely to return to training in March which will come as a welcome boost for Potter.
Enzo Fernandez was signed in the January transfer window after completing a £106million move from Benfica, breaking the British transfer record. The Argentine midfielder won the World Cup with his country in December and was seen as a priority target to come in and help fix the problems at Stamford Bridge.
