However, his injury prevented him from competing in the World Cup.Azpilicueta has failed to fill Reece James's void.
Chelsea paid €80 million for Wesley Fofana in the summer, making him the club's most expensive defender of all time. However, he suffered an injury after only six appearances for the Blues and has been sidelined ever since.
N'golo Kante has only made two appearances for Chelsea this season due to recurring injuries.
The following is a list of Chelsea players who are currently unavailable.
Forwards include Joao Felix, Armando Broja, and Christian Pulisic, while midfielders include Raheem Sterling, Denis Zakaria, N'golo Kante, and Ruben Loftus-Cheek. The defenders are Reece James, Wesley Fofana, and Ben Chilwell, while the goalkeeper is Edouard Mendy.
