Graham Potter faces unwanted Benoit Badiashile decision for Man City vs Chelsea after £34m deal

Chelsea head coach Graham Potter could be tempted to make a host of changes on Sunday afternoon when his side travel to Manchester City in the FA Cup third round.

Potter saw another two – yes, that's right – of his first-team players go off injured when Chelsea lost to Sunday's opponents on Thursday night in the Premier League. Raheem Sterling hurt his hamstring just minutes into the game against his former club and limped off and not too long after Christian Pulisic collided with John Stones and was absolutely devastated as he walked off the pitch.

So, Potter's options are really limited now with 10 first-team players currently sidelined through injuries. This leaves the Chelsea head coach with around 16 senior players to choose from, not including academy stars Lewis Hall and Omari Hutchinson, for Sunday's trip to the Etihad Stadium.
