Graham Potter has revealed he is looking to try and find the root of Chelsea's countless injury problems this season as the squad lost another player on Thursday evening.
Denis Zakaria was taken off in the second-half of the Blues' 2-1 defeat to Fulham at Craven Cottage after pulling up following a pass. It was yet another muscle injury and the Swiss midfielder is now set to join nine of his teammates on the sidelines because of the problem.
Raheem Sterling, Christian Pulisic, Edouard Mendy, Wesley Fofana, Armando Broja, Ben Chilwell, Ruben Loftus-Cheek, N'Golo Kante and Reece James are all currently absent because of injury. Some of them are nearer than others to returning – for instance, Chilwell and Loftus-Cheek are both training with their teammates now, but the injury problems have been unprecedented at Chelsea this season.
