Chelsea goalkeeper Edouard Mendy is set to earn his first start under Graham Potter in their Champions League clash against Dinamo Zagreb on Wednesday.

The Senegalese shotstopper sustained a knee injury in their trip to West Ham two months ago and has failed to reclaim his starting spot given Kepa Arrizabalaga's impressive form.

But after the Spaniard picked up an injury during their 4-1 humiliation at Brighton and subsequently missed training, Potter will likely be handing Mendy a place in the starting line-up.
