Injury frustrations grow
Chelsea went into the clash against Manchester City without several key players due to injury. Reece James, Wesley Fofana and Ben Chilwell were absent. N'Golo Kante was sidelined. Ruben Loftus-Cheek wasn't fit to return to the squad following his thigh injury. And Armando Broja continues his rehabilitation work after undergoing knee surgery last month.
There was another casualty on the day of the game: Mason Mount was ruled out after he picked up a knock in training on Wednesday. Still, the team selected by Graham Potter didn't lack quality or Premier League experience. Raheem Sterling had a point to prove against his former club too.
