Cucurella out, Mount issue - Chelsea changes Graham Potter must make for Borussia Dortmund clash

Chelsea next travel to play Borussia Dortmund as they continue to look for their second win of the year after recording three draws in a row. The Blues utlised four of their January additions against West Ham but still saw Joao Felix's goal ruled out thanks to former Chelsea defender Emerson Palmieri, as well as being denied a late penalty.

Felix, Enzo Fernandez, Mykhailo Mudryk, Benoit Badiashile and Noni Madueke all started the game while David Datro Fofana was on the bench against the Irons, but the latter trio will be unavailable for the trip to Germany. Graham Potter was only able to add three new players to his Champions League squad in a move that also saw Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang removed from the group to faciliate the January arrivals.

The Blues boss will see his options more limited but will have more to consider at the Westfalenstadion as a number of his injured stars continue their recovery. Kalidou Koulibaly, Denis Zakaria, Mateo Kovacic and Wesley Fofana were all involved in Monday's training session, while Ben Chilwell continued his reintroduction to first team football with another substitute appearance at the weekend.
