Chelsea defender Benoit Badiashile was not able to make the matchday squad for the 3-2 win over Newcastle on Monday evening.
The Frenchman has recovered from a groin injury but he has yet to take part in full training. A return for the FA Cup quarter-final tie this weekend, though, is a possibility.
Expected Return Date – Sunday 17th March v Leicester City (FA Cup)
Christopher Nkunku is not expected to return to fitness this side of the international break. The Frenchman sustained a hamstring injury after the Carabao Cup final defeat to Liverpool last month.
Manager Mauricio Pochettino has said that the midfielder would require 3 to 4 weeks to recover so he won’t be in contention to play Leicester.
