Chelsea are facing fresh defensive problems ahead of Saturday’s cruch clash with Manchester City after Andreas Christensen was ruled out with Covid.
Thomas Tuchel is already missing the injured Reece James and Trevoh Chalobah, while Ben Chilwell has been ruled out for the season.
It means Malang Sarr is likely to have to come into a back three – or be played out of position at left back if Chelsea switch to a four-man defence.
At least Thiago Silva is available after recovering from his own bout of Covid and coming on as a substitute against Tottenham in the Carabao Cup semi-final on Wednesday.
