Chelsea manager Graham Potter has been handed three injury boosts ahead of their game vs Crystal Palace in the Premier League this weekend.

This comes as the reports revealed the trio of Christian Pulisic, Edouard Mendy and N’Golo Kante will be available for the weekend match.

The Crystal Palace’s face-off will be Potter’s first Premier League fixture in charge of the Blues.

This reason for it taking that long was due to the postponement of the Blues’ matches against Fulham and Liverpool, following the death of Queen Elizabeth II.

Mendy was unavailable during Chelsea’s Uefa Champions League games against Dinamo Zagreb and RB Salzburg due to a knee injury but the Senegalese has since returned to training during the international break.

Pulisic sustained a knock during training with the USA during the international break but has recovered in time to start the 0-0 draw with Saudi Arabia on Tuesday.

Kante has also returned to full training at Cobham as he continues his recovery from a hamstring injury that has kept him sidelined for over a month.
