Chelsea team news: Injury, suspension list vs. Wolverhampton Wanderers

Sports Mole rounds up Chelsea's injury and suspension news ahead of Saturday's Premier League fixture against Wolverhampton Wanderers.

Chelsea return to Premier League action on Saturday afternoon as they square off against Wolverhampton Wanderers.

The Blues head into this contest looking to record their third successive win in all competitions, the second of which came against AC Milan in the Champions League on Wednesday night.

However, at a time when Graham Potter's side are embarking on an unrelenting schedule, the Englishman continues to have to contend with injury issues to key players in his squad.

Here, Sports Mole rounds up Chelsea's latest injury and suspension news ahead of welcoming the West Midlands outfit to Stamford Bridge.

Status: Minor doubt
Type of injury: Hamstring
Possible return date: October 8 (vs. Wolves)

While N'Golo Kante has been absent since suffering a hamstring injury on August 14, the Frenchman has been back in training for over a week. Nevertheless, the midfielder was not risked against Milan in midweek, and he will only feature among the replacements at best on Saturday.


Wesley Fofana

Soon after scoring against Milan, Wesley Fofana jarred his knee and was forced to be withdrawn. Although the summer arrival attempted to continue, he eventually had to concede defeat and hobble off, with Potter admitting that he is concerned about the severity of the injury.
