Graham Potter sets Chelsea timeline for Kalidou Koulibaly injury return amid FC Salzburg blow

Graham Potter is hopeful that Kalidou Koulibaly will return to Chelsea training this week after the Senegal international did not make the trip to Austria to face FC Salzburg in the Champions League.

Koulibaly missed Chelsea's draw with Manchester United with a knee issue he suffered against Brentford and was not involved in the squad's training session on Monday morning at Cobham before the Blues flew out for their European clash.

Potter played down the severity of the injury at the weekend, but the clash against Salzburg has still come too soon. His return to training on the grass is set for later in the week, with Chelsea taking on Brighton on Saturday.
