Kante’s issue is the latest in a long line of problems that have plagued Chelsea over the last 12 months, with last season also decimated by injury.
Meanwhile, Coach Potter had confirmed that all the other players in the squad are fit and ‘available’, including Thiago Silva was rested completely from the win over Wolves having had a cold two weeks ago.
‘Thiago was okay when we played AC Milan but he just got a little bit worse as the week went on. Because there was only two days in between the games it made no sense to play him again. But he’s recovered well, and he’s been incredibly impressive on and off the pitch. As a leader, he’s a top professional, and a top person so he’s been a joy to work with,” Potter had said.
