Graham Potter has been dealt an early injury blow at Chelsea, with Edouard Mendy expected to miss tomorrow evening's Champions League group-stage clash against Red Bull Salzburg due to injury.

The Senegal international was only among the substitutes last week for the 1-0 defeat to Dinamo Zagreb. The reasons for that were two-fold, with Thomas Tuchel – then still in charge at Stamford Bridge – stating Mendy was being given a breather from the starting XI as the goalkeeper was nursing a patella tendon injury.

football.london understands Mendy was struggling to be fit for the Premier League clash against Fulham at Craven Cottage on Saturday. However, following the death of Queen Elizabeth II, the Premier League decided the weekend fixture schedule should not be played as a mark of respect.
