![]() ![]() Meanwhile, it is largely as you were in the Villa infirmary, but Poland right-back Matty Cash is now facing up to three weeks out with a calf injury sustained against the Czech Republic. James’s England withdrawal was thought to have been more precautionary than anything else, though, while Havertz will also likely recover from a bout of flu in time to lead the line. Kai Havertz (illness) and Reece James (thigh) were both forced out of international duty midway through the break, while all of Mason Mount, Christian Pulisic, Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and Edouard Mendy will need assessing too – the former will only be fit enough for the bench if he can recover from a pubic problem. Working with injury and illness concerns in the double figures, Chelsea will certainly be without Cesar Azpilicueta, Raheem Sterling, Wesley Fofana, Armando Broja and Thiago Silva this week, and doubts are lingering over a wealth of other first-team regular fixtures. ![]() The Blues occupy 10th spot following a 2-2 draw with Everton before the international break, while the Lions are one place worse off thanks to a 3-0 success over Bournemouth. Two mid-table sides with an identical Premier League points tally after 27 matches lock horns at Stamford Bridge on Saturday evening, as Chelsea play host to Aston Villa.
