Robert Sanchez and Wesley Fofana have been ruled out of Chelsea's clash against Manchester City at the Etihad Stadium. The goalkeeper has suffered a small muscle problem, while the defender has a fever.

Filip Jorgensen has replaced Sanchez between the sticks and Benoit Badiashile has come in for Fofana. The duo established themselves as key players under Enzo Maresca, who stepped down as head coach on New Year's Day, so their absences come as huge blows.
