The first 15 minutes of Tuesday morning's session at a rainy Cobham was open to the assembled media and journalists, as is customary ahead of a UEFA fixture.

Graham Potter was therefore able to put his players through their paces in front of the cameras for the first time, with the open section featuring a short warm-up and ball work on the slick surface.

Mendy, who was on the bench for our last outing away at Dinamo Zagreb a week ago, missed the first part of the session, as did Kante, who hasn't featured for the Blues since our 2-2 draw with Tottenham in mid-August.

Potter confirmed in his first press conference as Chelsea head coach that the duo would miss our matchday two encounter with the Austrian champions.
