Frank Lampard has confirmed that Kai Havertz misses Chelsea's clash with Brighton due to a knee injury. However, the German forward should be fit enough to feature in the Champions League on Tuesday.
Havertz was introduced from the bench against Real Madrid at the Bernabeu as the Blues were defeated 2-0 by the 2022 Champions League winners. The 23-year-old picked up the issue in his brief time on the pitch against Los Blancos.
As a result, Chelsea have made use of a front three of Raheem Sterling, Christian Pulisic and Mykhailo Mudryk as Joao Felix drops to the bench. The latter two players come as part of six changes Lampard has made to the team.
