N'Golo Kante, Wesley Fofana, Reece James: Chelsea injury news and return dates for Aston Villa

N'Golo Kante could make his first appearance for Chelsea against Aston Villa this weekend since sustaining a hamstring injury in August. The Blues are set to welcome the Villans to Stamford Bridge on Saturday afternoon — a defeat will see Graham Potter's side fall into the bottom half of the table.

With a pride at steak for the west London outfit, Chelsea fans will be desperate to see the 32-year-old back in action on Saturday afternoon. Kante has been out for so long that he's yet to even play a single minute for Potter so, even if the Frenchman is completely match-fit, it's likely that the Blues boss will want to ease the midfielder into the side.

Aside from Kante, Chelsea are expected to welcome numerous other stars back into the fold too. With the Champions League knockout stages in the horizon, the Blues' squad seems to be shaping up quite nicely.
