At least three Chelsea stars will be unavailable for selection for the Blues until after the World Cup, Chelsea boss Graham Potter has confirmed.

It has been previously confirmed N’Golo Kante is out until next year while Ben Chilwell isn’t expected to make an appearance for the Blues before the World Cup later this month after suffering a hamstring injury.

Potter has now confirmed Chelsea goalkeeper Kepa Arrizabalaga won’t make an appearance for the Blues before the World Cup due to injury.

Potter told reporters about Kepa’s injury: “It is his plantar fascia, the bottom of his foot. He will not play before the World Cup.”
