Mudryk start, Fofana issue - Graham Potter forced into Chelsea changes vs Aston Villa

The international break is all but over and preparations for the return of Premier League action are well underway. Already Chelsea's stars have started to return to Cobham after representing their national teams as Graham Potter now must assess his players ahead of facing Aston Villa.

Reece James and Kai Havertz both left international camps early as the former looked to manage an injury and the latter left the Germany squad due to illness. They are two of a whole host of players the Blues will be hoping are fit enough to feature against Unai Emery's side.

Cesar Azpilicueta Mason Mount, and Wesley Fofana are all working their way back from injury while Edouard Mendy, Raheem Sterling and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang have been pictured in training.
