Chelsea boss Graham Potter provided update on N Golo Kante and Wesley Fofana Chelsea boss Graham Potter N'Golo Kante is not the only French player in the Chelsea side to pick up an injury. New signing Wesley Fofana has also been out since scoring against AC Milan in Chelsea's 3-0 win at home in the UEFA Champions League. Graham Potter provided updates on both players' injuries as he told the media (via football.london): "He [Kante] is due to see a consultant at the weekend. It's a setback and it's not good news. But at this stage, I can't give you anything more. He [Fofana] is progressing where he was. I don't think we'll see him before the World Cup." Potter further added about the French midfielder: "Historically there are things that have happened which is a concern. It's a setback in the last stage of his rehab so that is worrying."

He said about their next opponent: "The margins are very small as we've said in the Premier League. I'm sure Steven will want to improve their results and looking at this game to do that. We need to make sure we're ready for the challenge." He added:"I think everyone knows in the Premier League there is always someone under pressure. At the moment it's Steven and he has the quality and experience to do that." Chelsea are currently fourth in the Premier League table, eight points behind leaders Arsenal but with a game in hand.
