Chelsea duo miss training ahead of RB Salzburg clash
Chelsea duo N'Golo Kante and Edouard Mendy have missed training ahead of the club's Champions League clash against RB Salzburg.
The Blues suffered a disappointing 1-0 loss to Dinamo Zagreb in their group stage opener last week. The result led to Thomas Tuchel's dismissal.
The club are now managed by Graham Potter, but he won't be able to rely on the services of Edouard Mendy and N'Golo Kante tomorrow.
Kante has been nursing a hamstring injury since the 2-2 draw against Spurs last month, and he has yet to make his return to training.
On the other hand, Mendy has also been ruled out of Wednesday's encounter, having sustained a rib injury against West Ham United.
The Senegal international was not in the matchday squad against Dinamo as a result, and he is now expected to miss the Salzburg game.
In his absence, Kepa Arrizabalaga is expected to continue between the sticks. The Spaniard has the chance to make a big impression.
