Experienced pro Cesar Azpilicueta is nearing a return to the field for the club. We’ve got all the Chelsea injury news as they look to revive their season.

Chelsea aren’t having the best of time on the field of late. New manager Graham Potter is under severe scrutiny and faces a big challenge to keep his job. The pressure on Potter is that big that other managers are being looked at as a potential replacement.

The pressure on Potter increased even more over the weekend when they lost to managerless Southampton.

Chelsea Injury News: Welcome Returns

Azpilicueta

Spanish defender Azpilicueta is nearing a return to the Chelsea setup. His return will be welcomed by the Chelsea fans as he has a wealth of experience.

He’s looking set to return the first week of March.

N’Golo Kante

The tireless Kante has been out for the past year with various injuries. When he’s at his best he’s a menace to other teams.

Kante fell out of favour with Thomas Tuchel, maybe Potter could reignite his spark. He’ll not have long to wait for the midfielder to return as he’s set for a March return.

Christian Pulisic

The American has been out since the FA Cup loss to Man City. He’s suggested that he may be back next month.

If he’ll fit into the squad is another question due to the number of new signings in his position.

Edouard Mendy

The ‘keeper was injured during the World Cup. The 30-year-old underwent surgery on a fractured finger last month and was expected to miss around six weeks of action.

He’s another man expected to return in March. However, Kepa replaced Mendy as the number one before the injury, he may need to settle for a place on the bench.
