Chelsea Lose Andrey Santos Until After Break as Injury List Grows Before Liverpool

Maresca says seven or eight players are unavailable for selection ahead of the weekend.

Overview

Andrey Santos missed training and the Benfica win, and Maresca confirmed he will not return before the October international window closes.
Chelsea’s defense is stretched with Trevoh Chalobah suspended and Levi Colwill, Tosin Adarabioyo and Wesley Fofana unavailable.
The club is down to three recognised centre-backs for Liverpool: Benoît Badiashile, Josh Acheampong and Jorrel Hato.
Reporting indicates Cole Palmer and Dário Essugo are expected to be available after the break, which could bolster options.
Separate reports say João Pedro, Enzo Fernández and Moisés Caicedo have been playing through injuries, raising workload concerns after a crowded summer.
