Graham Potter has revealed that managing his squad's playing time in tandem with players carrying issues has led to his seven Chelsea changes as the Blues face Wolves. In addition to Wesley Fofana, who is absent due to a knee strain, Thiago Silva is absent from the Blues' squad while Mateo Kovacic, Reece James, Ben Chilwell, Raheem Sterling and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang have all dropped to the bench.
Chelsea are looking to earn their third win in a row under Potter, and the former Brighton boss still believes that his side are good enough to defeat a Wolves team who start with Diego Costa up front.
Potter said ahead of the game: "A bit of the schedule, individuals carrying certain things, recovery times and lots of other factors. But most importantly, we have tried to select a team that can win the match.
