Chelsea midfielder Cesc Fabregas is a major doubt to face Arsenal this weekend.
It is reported that a knee injury could keep the former Arsenal midfielder out of the Chelsea side for Saturday’s big game.
The report claims that Fabregas was not involved in a light training session on Monday following Saturday’s 3-0 victory over Huddersfield Town/
Despite being heavily involved in pre-season, Fabregas did not start against Huddersfield on the opening day of the campaign.
Sarri instead decided to start with a midfield three of new signing Jorginho, alongside both N’Golo Kante and Ross Barkley.
While Barkley impressed at Huddersfield, this could open up a chance for either Matteo Kovacic or Ruben Loftus-Cheek to start against the Gunners.
Kovacic was not named in the Chelsea squad to face Huddersfield but is being tipped to feature at some stage against the Gunners.
Loftus-Cheek came off the bench to feature in the last 20 minutes of the Premier League opener.
