Chelsea's injury problems continue to pile up with two of their leading lights set to miss out on the World Cup.
N'Golo Kante has been nursing an injury for several weeks whilst Reece James has recently picked up an issue. Both men were expected to play key roles for their countries in Qatar, with Kante hoping to defend the trophy with Les Blues. Instead they could both be forced to watch from the sidelines as they recover from injuries.
Chelsea continued to adapt to life under Graham Potter and face Aston Villa this weekend. The new boss at Stamford Bridge is one of several appointments Todd Boehly needs to make as the American fills his top brass following a mass exodus in west London.
