Latest Chelsea injury news as five miss Leeds United with N'Golo Kante updated expected

Graham Potter is getting closer to having a fully-fit Chelsea squad as he continues to intergrate returning players back into the fold. It was just one month ago that he had a full XI of players unavailable to him through fitness issues and knocks.

Although the boss has remained cautious when it comes to overexerting his players, there have certainly been moves to get some of the club's most important stars back on the field. Reece James and Ben Chilwell played just their third match of the season together against Tottenham, for example.

Denis Zakaria also appeared off the bench but there were continued blows for Mateo Kovacic, who missed the match with illness having only made his first start in recent weeks against Southampton. Raheem Sterling was another that was able to play from the off having been a substitute at Stamford Bridge eight days earlier.
