Graham Potter drops Thiago Silva Chelsea hint ahead of Brentford amid injury concerns

Graham Potter has said that Chelsea's injury situation remains unchanged following the weekend, with Thiago Silva deemed fit after concerns were raised over the weekend. Though he does not sound certain to be involved against the Bees.

Following Saturday's win over Aston Villa Potter revealed that Silva had suffered some tightness in his hamstring which would need to be monitored. However, managing the 38-year-old's ability to recover between games does seem to be at the forefront of the Blues boss' mind.

The Brazilian international has completed 90 minutes in each of Chelsea's matches outside of missing out on the squads for Dinamo Zagreb and Wolves. He was unavailable for the latter as he recovered from a heavy cold, while Thomas Tuchel opted to rest Silva for the former to alleviate his need to travel.
