Chelsea's injury list is now long enough to make you run out of breath if you try to read it without pausing. Try it: N'Golo Kante, Ruben Loftus-Cheek, Edouard Mendy, Armando Broja, Mason Mount, Ben Chilwell, Reece James, Wesley Fofana, Raheem Sterling and Christian Pulisic. Graham Potter has a serious problem in his hands.
In fact, if we include Jorginho who was too fatigued to play against Manchester City on Thursday, Chelsea could comfortably field a strong XI of injured players right now.
Here's what it looks like:
Jorginho is expected to be back in action on Sunday but the same cannot be said for any of the other players on the list.
Chelsea's battle to make the top four is in serious jeopardy due to their squad's poor fitness. It's a fight against the number 10 Chelsea. The Blues are 10th on the table and 10 points adrift of the top four. That's got to change, and quickly too.
