Chelsea will continue to be without N’Golo Kante but Thiago Silva should return for their Champions League clash with AC Milan.
French midfielder Kante suffered a setback in his recovery from a hamstring injury in training and he is joined in the treatment room by Hakim Ziyech (illness) and Wesley Fofana (knee).
Chelsea boss Graham Potter confirmed on Monday:
“We’re just waiting for [Kante’s] reaction from training.”
“It is certainly not ideal so we will have to wait and see the extent of it and go from there.”
Potter is set to rotate his starting line-up in Italy but Kepa Arrizabalaga could continue ahead of Edouard Mendy as Chelsea’s goalkeeper.
