Reece James, Thiago Silva, Raheem Sterling, and Mykhailo Mudryk did not start for Chelsea in their 1-0 loss to Southampton thanks to injury concerns.
The medical staff informed Graham Potter that if he used the aforementioned players against the Saints, they might sustain injuries. However, Potter rested James and Silva and brought in Sterling and Mudryk as substitutes against the Saints.
Ever since the World Cup break, the Blues have experienced injury problems and have had to manage their fitness levels while playing a demanding schedule.
Reece James, who has experienced a hiccup in his own recovery from injury, was left absent from the team for the weekend defeat to Southampton at home but is expected to start on Sunday.
According to The Evening Standard, the four players are fully fit and ready to feature for one of the crucial games against Tottenham on Sunday at lunchtime.
N’Golo Kante has resumed training as he nears a return from hamstring surgery, and the midfielder has already finished the first portion of the session before switching to individual work.
Chelsea captain Cesar Azpilicueta was also discharged from the hospital and was seen at Cobham following a horrific head injury against Southampton. And we will be facing one of the tough opponents on Sunday, we absolutely need the services of James, Silva, Sterling, and Mudryk.
The players will need to perform well in this game since we have suffered terribly, and a third straight defeat could aggravate the problem.
Given that we are playing a powerful opponent and are in a state of enormous uncertainty, the game against the Spurs will be pivotal. A win may change everything and relieve pressure on Potter and the players.
A positive outcome here can change the course of the club and who knows from that match we begin on a winning run because a single win can shift anything for a club that has been continuously performing miserably.
