Chelsea vs AC Milan injury updates

Wesley Fofana limped off during our win in the first game against AC Milan last week, and Graham Potter had this to say about the defender in his press conference on Friday.

'Wesley’s knee’s not as bad as we thought after the game, so that’s good because it was a cause for concern at the time, but it will still be a few weeks I think. It’s considerably better than it could be, but he will obviously be missing for a few weeks,' he explained.

'It’s just a knee strain so there’s a possibility we might see him play against before the World Cup. It depends on how his rehab goes, I don’t want to put too much of a timescale on it, but there’s a chance of that.'

N'Golo Kante hasn't featured since August but is back in training and Potter spoke about the Frenchman and the need to be patient over his return on Friday.

'He’s doing more and more integration with the team. He’s still not ready for the weekend but getting closer.

'It is what it is, there’s nothing we can do, the injury happened and now it’s about trying to get him back fit and getting him as ready as we can so he can play for a sustained period.

'He’s been in and out with injuries over a period of time so we have to make sure that when he’s back he’s back for good and strong and enjoying his football. So there’s no frustration from my perspective, it’s just something we have to deal with.'

AC Milan will be without long-term absentees Zlatan Ibrahimovic and Alessandro Florenzi, neither of whom are expected to play again this year following surgery. Goalkeeper Mike Maignan is unlikely to be involved after suffering a calf injury on international duty and defenders Davide Calabria and Simon Kjaer, plus winger Alexis Saelemaekers, are still doubtful, although left-back Theo Hernandez and striker Divock Origi returned from injury for AC Milan at the weekend.
