Reece James, Ben Chilwell, Wesley Fofana: Chelsea injury news and return dates for Fulham tie

Graham Potter will be relieved to see that his Chelsea side have a significant respite before locking horns with Fulham at the start of next month. The Blues showed great signs of improvement in the goalless draw with Liverpool but they're still without a number of key players, who ordinarily would be in the starting lineup.

Chelsea are set to welcome their west London rivals to Stamford Bridge in just under two weeks' time on February 3. By then, the likes of Reece James, Ben Chilwell and even N'Golo Kante could all be available to feature in some capacity; whether it's from the get-go or off the bench.

However, even if the trio do recover, Chelsea's injury problems are far from solved with the likes of Raheem Sterling and Christian Pulisic expected to be out until as late as March. But at least they're set to feature before the end of the season; Armando Broja could be out until the summer as he continues to nurse a terrible knee injury.
