Axel Disasi was absent from Chelsea’s 2-2 draw against Arsenal last weekend.

The Frenchman had picked up an injury ahead of the last international break, and had to pull out from the French squad for the matches against the Netherlands and Scotland.

Disasi however, did return to training before the Arsenal clash, although he was only good enough for a place on the bench.

Some fans expressed worry over the 25-year-old not playing last Saturday, especially as he has been a mainstay in the team’s defence alongside Thiago Silva.

However, journalist Nizaar Kinsella has revealed that he is fine, and should be available for the Blues’ upcoming match against Brentford.

Speaking to the London Is Blue podcast, he said of Disasi: “That’s definitely nothing major. I mean, I think they could’ve played him if they had to for the last game.”
