Despite Chelsea making a host of new signings in the ongoing transfer window, the Blues are still without some key players owing to injury.
Levi Colwill, Cole Palmer, Romeo Lavia and Benoit Badiashile all missed Chelsea‘s 5-1 win against West Ham United last Friday due to fitness problems.
Palmer was set to start the game, but pulled out at the last minute after feeling something in his groin.
Chelsea are now waiting to find out the full extent of Palmer’s injury, as it has been reported that he could miss the match against Fulham on Saturday.
While Palmer’s injury comes as a potential blow to Enzo Maresca’s team, the Italian manager has been handed a boost with an integral player set to return to the first-team fold after the upcoming international break.
Chelsea midfielder Romeo Lavia has missed the start of the season due to injury, but is now set to return to action in the middle of September.

Romeo Lavia set to return from injury next month
According to a report in The Telegraph, there is optimism there is “optimism” that Lavia will be available for selection again after the international break.
While the 21-year-old is set to return to action soon, Levi Colwill is expected to be out for most of the campaign after undergoing surgery on his ACL.
Chelsea face Fulham on Saturday and have another London derby after the international break, taking on Brentford at the Gtech Community Stadium.
They then face Manchester United at home, which is a huge game. Lavia may return to action against the Red Devils, as Maresca might choose a midfield three for that match, so it would not be a surprise to see Lavia, Moises Caicedo and Enzo Fernandez all start if the Belgium international is fit enough to play.
