Graham Potter has confirmed the latest Chelsea injury news ahead of the club's home fixture against Aston Villa. Some of his players were afforded a valuable two weeks off over the international break whilst others were out playing for their countries.
With Wesley Fofana, Reece James, Kai Havertz, Mason Mount and Raheem Sterling all missing out or returning early from their respective squads, Potter is still far from at full fitness for Saturday's game.
"Thiago [Silva] and Azpi [Cesar Azpilicueta] are still away," he started. "Raheem [Sterling] is coming back but will miss the game, more chance for Tuesday. He was close.
