N'Golo Kante - Goes 85 minutes in draw Kante had one chance created and a tackle won in Saturday's 1-1 draw against Burnley.

Impact Kante went 85 minutes Saturday, as he was subbed late with Chelsea pushing for a goal. The hope is that Kante can get back his fitness over the break to a point where he can start and go full 90s every match, something he hasn't done regularly this season.

Mason Mount - On bench Saturday Mount (infection) is on the bench for Saturday's match against Burnley.

Impact Mount is in the squad Saturday, but he's on the bench along with Hakim Ziyech. It's a bit of a different lineup for Chelsea, mainly because Ross Barkley is starting in the top three, something he's rarely done. Given the options on the bench, it's hard to see Barkley or Callum Hudson-Odoi going the full 90.

N'Golo Kante - Expected to be option Saturday Kante was not mentioned by manager Thomas Tuchel ahead of Saturday's match against Burnley after missing the midweek contest.

Impact Kante wasn't risked midweek after playing 64 minutes in the win against Newcastle. He's slowly working back his fitness following a couple injuries in the early season and there's a chance he'll be back in the XI for Saturday's match against Burnley, assuming he feels well enough.

Mason Mount - Expected in squad Saturday Mount is dealing with an infection related to dental surgery but is still expected to be in the match-day squad versus Burnley on Saturday. Manager Thomas Tuchel told reporters, "I...

Impact Mount probably shouldn't be expected to feature in the starting XI but could be an option off the bench. Once he can get back to full match fitness, the midfielder should be in the mix to start for the club moving forward and figures to continue racking up crosses, making him a solid top-half fantasy target.

Marcos Alonso - Suffers ankle injury Alonso sustained an ankle injury versus Malmo on Tuesday and has been ruled out for Saturday's clash with Burnley. Manager Thomas Tuchel told reporters, "Unfortunately, Marcos Alon...

Impact Based on the manager's comments, Alonso should be in the mix to play coming out of the international break against Leicester City on Saturday. Even once cleared to play, the defender is far from a lock for the starting XI considering he featured just once in the club's previous six outings.

Timo Werner - Out again Saturday Werner (hamstring) won't play versus Burnley on Saturday after manager Thomas Tuchel told reporters, "There is no news for the match tomorrow for Romelu and Timo. Both of them are...

Impact In addition to Werner, the club will also be without Romelu Lukaku (ankle), limiting their forward options. With the duo sidelined, Kai Havertz figures to continue featuring up top and should be a top-end fantasy target. For his part, once Werner returns to full fitness, he'll almost certainly be restored to the starting XI.

Romelu Lukaku - Still unavailable against Burnley Lukaku (ankle) will not be ready to return versus Burnley on Saturday. Manager Thomas Tuchel told reporters, "There is no news for the match tomorrow for Romelu and Timo. Both of t...

Impact Prior to getting hurt, Lukaku was bogged down in a six-game goalless streak during which he only put two of his 11 efforts on target. Still, once the forward is cleared to play, he figures to immediately return to the starting XI and should be the focal point of the Chelsea attack.
