Santos injured vs Wolves

Chelsea suffer midfield injury blow ahead of Leeds game

08 February 2026 - 21:09

Chelsea have suffered a midfield injury blow ahead of the Premier League clash against Leeds United at Stamford Bridge on Tuesday night.

  • Confirmed Liverpool line-up (4-3-3) vs Man City, Gakpo & Salah start
  • Arsenal to sign Bayern star on a free transfer?

  • The west London giants have picked up form in the league. They have won four matches on the bounce under the guidance of Liam Rosenior.

    Andrey Santos started the recent 3-1 win over Wolverhampton Wanderers on the road, but he unfortunately picked up a knock in the second half.

    Rosenior did not provide any kind of update in his post-match presser, but the Brazilian is expected to be assessed ahead of the Leeds encounter.

    The Blues have a short turnaround time with the match on Tuesday evening. Santos faces a race against time to be fit for the midweek clash.

    Chelsea will be aiming to avenge their 3-1 loss to Leeds on the road.

    A victory over the Whites at the Bridge would see the Blues move seven points clear of sixth-placed Liverpool temporarily. Fifth place could be sufficient to qualify for the Champions League next season.
