Graham Potter confirms Kovacic, Zakaria and Fofana Chelsea roles amid Raheem Sterling absence

Graham Potter has confirmed that Raheem Sterling will still be recovering from injury at Cobham after picking up a knee injury in training last week. The Chelsea winger did not make the trip out to Germany and did not train with the first team on Tuesday morning.

Sterling joins N'Golo Kante and Christian Pulisic working to return to full fitness at the training ground on Wednesday while players such as Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, Noni Madueke, Benoit Badiashile and David Datro Fofana, who did not make the Champions League squad for the knockout rounds, will have the day off.

That group were involved in the session before their teammates departed for their trip to Dortmund and Potter was pleased with the atmosphere that was in the air.
