N'Golo Kante, Koulibaly, Gallagher: Chelsea injury news and return dates ahead of Southampton

Chelsea returned to winning ways on Saturday afternoon as they beat Leicester City 2-1 at Stamford Bridge.

The Blues return to action on Tuesday evening as they host Southampton. So, with that said, football.london rounds up the very latest in the way of injury and suspension news.

Kalidou Koulibaly

The Senegal international will return to the Chelsea squad for the game against the Saints after the defender served his one-match suspension against Leicester.

Conor Gallagher

However, as one suspension ends, another one starts. Gallagher was shown two yellow cards in the first-half against Leicester and will be forced to sit out of the game with Southampton on Tuesday.

N'Golo Kante

The French midfielder missed last weekend's trip up north having hobbled off the pitch against Tottenham after an excellent display and won't be available to face his former side. The 31-year-old is set to miss a handful of fixtures over the coming weeks.
