Chelsea at critical point due to injury - Two more players down, Injury update.

Chelsea face another anxious wait to discover the extent of Denis Zakaria’s injury following the Premier League encounter with Fulham.

An increasingly wretched season spiralled further out of control for the Blues at Craven Cottage on Thursday night, with a 2-1 defeat sealed by Carlos Vinicius’ header making it just one win in the last nine games either side of the World Cup break, heaping yet more pressure on under-fire manager Graham Potter with his side sitting 10th in the table and 10 points adrift of the top four.

Chelsea’s dramatic slump has coincided with an ever-worsening injury crisis, with the visitors missing nine players in total for the all-capital contest in SW6, with Edouard Mendy, Ben Chilwell, Wesley Fofana, Reece James, N’Golo Kante, Ruben Loftus-Cheek, Raheem Sterling, Christian Pulisic and Armando Broja all sidelined.
