Chelsea defender Christensen unavailable for Leicester game

Andreas Christensen is unavailable for Chelsea’s game against Leicester on Saturday.

The Danish defender would have been among the substitutes for the match at Stamford Bridge but is recovering from a hamstring problem.

Blues boss Maurizio Sarri says he has been assured that the injury is not serious.

“We have a little problem with Christensen – a little injury to his hamstring,” Sarri explained.

“The doctor told me yesterday that it’s not really very serious but he needs to rest for about a week so we will miss him for a couple of matches I think.”

Sarri added that Christensen is not for sale despite speculation over the player’s future. 

Meanwhile, Alvaro Morata has returned to training following a knee problem.
