Chelsea put in another top performance against one of the Premier League's best teams on Sunday. The Blues held league leaders Manchester City to a 4-4 thriller in a spectacle in west London.

Rodri's 86th minute deflected effort looked to be the winner for City after Chelsea had levelled through Nicolas Jackson. However, Cole Palmer came back to haunt his former side with an injury-time penalty.

Despite the thrilling display, Mauricio Pochettino was handed a fresh injury concern. Defender Levi Colwill missed the clash with a slight shoulder problem that he sustained in training in the week.

Right now, it's unclear whether he will be fit enough to go on England duty and Chelsea will be hoping the 20-year-old will be fit enough to return to the squad after the international break to face Newcastle United at St James' Park.

Here, football.london has the latest from the Chelsea treatment room.

Levi Colwill

Colwill missed Sunday's game due to a shoulder injury, football.london understands. The 20-year-old had started all 11 of the Blues' opening Premier League games of the season season after returning from his successful loan spell at Brighton & Hove Albion.

The defender was named in the England squad and is expected to travel to St George's Park in the week. The severity of his problem could become clearer depending on inclusion with his nation.

What Pochettino has said: "I don't know, Jesus, how is Levi? [press officer: we'll update in the next 24 hours]"

Possible return date: Newcastle United (A) - Saturday, November 25

Christopher Nkunku

Nkunku is still yet to play a competitive game for Chelsea following his transfer from RB Leipzig in the summer. The 25-year-old was dealt a major blow to his knee during a pre-season friendly against Borussia Dortmund.

He has taken his recovery programme to the next level and, for the very first time since the summer, Nkunku has been spotted outside on the training pitches at Cobham in his Chelsea gear. Pochettino has also revealed that the Frenchman is targeting an ambitious return soon after the international break.

After Sunday's game with Man City, Nkunku posted a cryptic message on social media.

What Pochettino has said: "We had some conversation and he said to me, 'Coach, I want to be ready for after the international break, Newcastle'. I asked him yesterday and he said 'hmmm', and I said 'you are liar'. 'No, no I am ready'. It is close and he is doing really well. We are so happy with him, the way he is recovering, he is very professional."

Romeo Lavia

On Friday afternoon, Lavia posted a selfie to his Instagram story. The youngster also accompanied the image with a picture of his tied football boots, with a smiley face and blue heart emoji as his caption.

Lavia has been nursing an ankle issue since he arrived at Stamford Bridge and he's still yet to make his debut for the Blues. Last month, the Belgian was dealt a major setback on his road to recovery, pushing his return date back to late November, maybe December.

What Pochettino said: "Romeo Lavia is also close. They trained today on the pitch. Hope that next week will be involved with the team and see after. Day by day see when it is possible to play with the team."

Possible return date: December

Trevoh Chalobah

Chalobah has been nursing a thigh injury and is still yet to feature for Chelsea this season.

Possible return date: Unknown

Carney Chukwuemeka

Chukwuemeka picked up a knock ahead of the meeting with Arsenal and then made the bench against Burnley, but the midfielder has since been hit with another setback. He has struggled with a knee problem which he suffered against West Ham earlier in the campaign.

Possible return date: Unknown

Ben Chilwell

Chilwell suffered a knock towards the end of Chelsea's clash with Brighton in the Carabao Cup at the end of September. Unfortunately for the Blues defender, the club quickly realised that the muscle issue was worse than first thought and, a month later, he's still out of action.

What Pochettino said: "I can not tell you [when he will be back]. It is difficult to know. He is away from the training ground now and we will wait for him to come back to see the situation. Hopefully, he can recover as soon as possible."

Possible return date: December

Wesley Fofana

Fofana is set to miss most of the season after rupturing his ACL in pre-season training ahead of the tour of America. Yet, while it remains to be seen when he will return, he's posted a promising update to his Instagram story. Without a caption, Fofana is seen lying down on a gym mat at Cobham training ground conducting a test on his right thigh.

Possible return date: April 2024
