Chelsea injury news: The Blues have a near fully fit squad for their trip to Wolves as Frank Lampard prepares for his first game as carertaker boss.

Frank Lampard will be working with a nearly fully fit Chelsea side as he prepares to manage his first game in caretaker charge against Wolves on Saturday.

That includes the availability of N'Golo Kante, who started against Liverpool in midweek, having come off the bench at the weekend before that. Elsewhere Edouard Mendy also returned to the squad having not played since the 2-1 Champions League win over Dinamo Zagreb in November.

On his choices for the squad, Lampard said: "I've been thinking about it a lot this morning, speaking to people who are going to be helping me to do this job so I have my idea about where I want to go. I watched the team, so credit to Bruno who took the team, credit to Graham Potter who I don't know that well but everything I see about him.

"He's a good man and a very good coach and sometimes for whatever reason things don't align, don't work, whatever, I've been in that situation personally. There's nothing that I will do that will look backwards other than with a view to how we move forward. I obviously have my own ideas."

The only other long-term absentee is Armando Broja, he won't play again this season.
