Kovacic, Alonso out of Wolves clash

Maurizio Sarri says Mateo Kovacic and Marcos Alonso are Chelsea’s only doubts for Wednesday’s trip to Wolves.

Croatia international Kovacic and Spanish full-back Alonso are struggling with ankle and back injuries respectively and will be handed late fitness tests at Molineux.

Both players were forced off in the 2-0 home win over Fulham last time out and, if they are unable to feature, it is likely Ruben Loftus-Cheek and Davide Zappacosta will be named in the starting XI.

Sarri says he has no other worries ahead of the clash with Nuno Espirito Santo’s men although the Italian tactician does have a decision to make up front.
