Graham Potter can give three Chelsea debuts to new signings to protect Thiago Silva vs Man City

Graham Potter's injury issues at Chelsea have taken another massive hit ahead of their FA Cup third-round tie away against Manchester City. The Blues fell to a 1-0 defeat against the same opposition just three days ago in the league and are running out of options.

Having lost Mason Mount to a knock picked up in training the day before the fixture Potter saw the worst possible start happen in front of him as Christian Pulisic and Raheem Sterling were both replaced before the 20-minute mark. With that trio added onto what was already a long injury list it is now 10 players unavailable.

Out of those 10, six of them started the 2021 Champions League final, such is the calibre of player missing for Chelsea right now. They are only a centreback away from having a full-injury XI that may well rival their current options.
