Denis Zakaria - Out 4 weeks with injury Zakaria (quadriceps) will miss about a month with the injury he suffered in mid-week, Chelsea manager Graham Potter told The Athletic's Simon Johnson after Sunday's win over Crysta... Impact Zakaria had started four consecutive Premier League games in Chelsea's midfield coming out of the World Cup break until he picked up a quad injury against Fulham on Thursday. He is now expected to be sidelined until mid-February, which would rule him out for upcoming league clashes with Liverpool, Fulham again and West Ham. Mateo Kovacic and Jorginho seem likely to take over as the primary midfielders for the time being, with Mason Mount, Conor Gallagher, Carney Chukwuemeka and Ruben Loftus-Cheek (leg) able to chip in in the position until Zakaria and N'Golo Kante (hamstring) can return.
