While N'Golo Kante has been absent since suffering a hamstring injury on August 14, the Frenchman has been back in training for over a week. Nevertheless, the midfielder was not risked against Milan in midweek, and he will only feature among the replacements at best on Saturday.

Soon after scoring against Milan, Wesley Fofana jarred his knee and was forced to be withdrawn. Although the summer arrival attempted to continue, he eventually had to concede defeat and hobble off, with Potter admitting that he is concerned about the severity of the injury.

Chelsea have no players suspended for this match.
