Chelsea's Edouard Mendy, N'Golo Kante back from injuries ahead of AC Milan clash
Mendy has not played in the past month due to a knee injury but could feature in Wednesday's Champions League Group E game at home to AC Milan while Kante, who has been sidelined since August with a thigh problem, is nearing a return to action. Potter said he was happy to have Mendy back and competing with Kepa Arrizabalaga for a spot in goal due to their gruelling schedule, with Chelsea set to play 12 games before the mid-season break for the World Cup next month. "Edou has been training with the team the last few days so he will be in the squad, which is good news for us because we need as much competition for places," Potter told reporters.
