Is Thiago Silva playing today? Latest Chelsea injury news
By 90min Staff
Chelsea manager Graham Potter has a number of injury issues to contend with ahead of their final group stage game against Dinamo Zagreb.
Wesley Fofana, Kalidou Koulibaly and Reece James will all miss the European clash at Stamford Bridge, with their defensive problems placing a lot of responsibility on the shoulders of veteran defender Thiago Silva.
The Brazilian has struggled with fitness issues in the last few years and did spend the goalless draw against Brentford as an unused substituted substitute after complaining of a minor muscle injury after the 2-0 victory over Aston Villa.
However, he has played in the weeks since without issue and is expected to play against Zagreb, with the Blues already wrapping up first place in Group E prior to the final matchday.
Their campaign got off to a rotten start in the corresponding fixture, with former boss Thomas Tuchel given the boot after a 1-0 defeat to the Croatian side.
