Chelsea have received an injury boost as manager Graham Potter stated that four players will be in his matchday squad to face Fulham on Friday night.
The two London teams will face off at Stamford Bridge later today, and although the Blues are two points behind their opponents from last Friday, Graham Potter’s team have a game in hand, giving them the opportunity to catch up to their cross-city rivals.
Chelsea fans will be curious to see if their record-breaking signing, Enzo Fernandez, will play when Graham Potter names his starting lineup, after another massive transfer window.

While Fernandez’s chances of making his club debut on Friday remain unknown, Potter has delivered a positive update on four other players.
Confirming that defensive duo Ben Chilwell and Reece James are back from injury, along with midfielders Raheem Sterling and Ruben Loftus-Cheek, Potter is set to welcome the quartet back but doesn’t think any will be able to play the whole game.
