Graham Potter’s time as Chelsea manager has been blighted with injuries to key stars as he looks to alleviate any pressure placed on him. Just as it looked like the worst was behind the head coach, the club have been hit with a fresh batch of fitness concerns for this afternoon’s clash with Leicester City.
Reece James, who has faced numerous spells on the sideline this season, has been confirmed to be out with illness, while Raheem Sterling is a doubt due to a tight hamstring. Both played a key part in Chelsea’s midweek Champions League win against Borussia Dortmund, and without their respective issues Potter may have opted to stick with the same line-up.
However, he now faces a number of crucial selection dilemmas, not aided by the fellow absentees of Mason Mount, Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and N'Golo Kante, alongside longer-term injuries sustained by Armando Broja and Thiago Silva. That being said, Potter does have a vast set of resources available to him when it comes to the playing staff.
