Ruben Loftus-Cheek
Ruben Loftus-Cheek was forced off with a thigh injury in a game against Newcastle United in November. He’s still confirmed to be out and will definitely miss the game against Fulham.
He is, however, making progress on the injury according to Graham Potter. When asked on the status of Loftus-Cheek’s injury, he said: “Ruben is getting closer.”
Edouard Mendy
Edouard Mendy is currently recovering from surgery to help fix a fractured finger. As such, he will need to recover for an undetermined amount of time before returning to action.
Mendy signed for Chelsea back in 2020 for a reported £22 million. He’s had an eclectic time at Stamford Bridge, but has held onto his spot as Chelsea’s first-choice keeper for now.
N’Golo Kante
N’Golo Kante was once regarded as one of the world’s premier midfielders – but he’s fallen out of the spotlight recently due to injuries. Despite this, he could be on course for a return in February.
Potter revealed that Kante had been undergoing light training to help get him back to fitness. However, he also added that he has a ‘long, long way to go’ before being fully fit.
