Injury Blow: Edouard Mendy now struggling with a knee injury over the past ten days

Due to a knee injury, Edouard Mendy will miss today’s Chelsea group-stage clash against Red Bull Salzburg. The Senegal international sustained the injury in a match with Crystal Palace.

He is now undergoing treatment to be back on his feet in no time. Mendy isn’t sighted among the first-team squad going up against RB-Salzburg today as it’s anticipated he will not be featured.

Also not present on the training field is N’Golo Kante. He sustained a hamstring injury in a tough match against Tottenham Hotspur, he isn’t expected to be fit until after the international break which will be taking place this weekend.
