Chelsea manager has revealed the state of his squad ahead of the game against Aston Villa.

Potter has ruled out the trio of N’Golo Kante, Wesley Fofana and Reece James for the weekend clash.

Hakim Ziyech who missed the mid-week clash against AC Milan through illness, is expected to be back for this game.

Potter also gave verdict that injured Fofana won’t be back until after the World Cup.

The Chelsea boss said about Fofana’s case: “He’s progressing where he was.

“I don’t think we will see him before the World Cup in terms of playing for Chelsea.”
