Starting against Brentford Azpilicueta (concussion) is in Chelsea's starting lineup for Wednesday's clash against Brentford.

Impact Azpilicueta is making his first appearance since suffering a serious head injury against Southampton back in mid-February, and he's starting at right wing-back in place of the injured Reece James (hamstring) on Wednesday.

Returns to training Azpilicueta (concussion) returned to training with the squad ahead of Wednesday's Champions League quarterfinals clash with Real Madrid.

Impact Azpilicueta could soon make his return to the team after participating in full team training ahead of Wednesday's Champions League match. His return to the squad was delayed after picking up a knock during training, but looks like he could be on the team sheet for Wednesday. The Chelsea captain has been out for over a month after suffering a scary concussion against Southampton on Feb 18.

Not back at training Azpilicueta (concussion) has yet to rejoin first-team training and won't be available against Aston Villa on Saturday. Manager Graham Potter told reporters, "Thiago and Azpi are st...

Impact At this point, Azpilicueta shouldn't be expected to feature against Liverpool on Tuesday either. Even before getting hurt, the defender made just one start in the club's prior six contests, including being an unused substitute twice, so his eventual return to the squad doesn't guarantee he will be back in the starting XI.

Still absent for Saturday Azpilicueta (concussion) will not be available for selection in Saturday's clash against Everton, Chelsa manager Graham Potter announced Friday.

Impact Apzilicueta is set to miss a fourth consecutive Premier League match since being carted off with a head injury late on in the loss to Southampton in mid-February. He will want to use the upcoming international break to continue recovering and hopefully be available by the time club play resumes in April.

Out against Leicester Azpilicueta is not in the match day squad to face Leicester on Saturday.

Impact Azpilicueta remains out as he continues to recover from a concussion. The defender was left off the injury report by manager Graham Potter in the buildup, so he could return as soon as next week against Everton.

MARCH 11, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Left off injury report Azpilicueta (concussion) was not included in manager Graham Potter's injury report ahead of a clash with Leicester City on Saturday. Potter told reporters, "Apart from that everybo...

Impact It's far from a ringing endorsement that Azpilicueta will be back in the squad to face the Foxes given he has missed the last three matches due to his concussion. In the club's previous six matches, the defender made four appearances (one start) and was an unused substitute for another two outings. When he did get onto the pitch, Azpilicueta registered two shots (zero on target), one cross (accurate) and four tackles (three won).

MARCH 10, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Remains unavailable Tuesday Azpilicueta (concussion) will once again be sidelined against Dortmund on Tuesday.

Impact Prior to his two-match absence, Azpilicueta started just once in the club's previous six contests and was an unused substitute for another two contests. In those four appearances, the defender registered four tackles (three won), three clearances and two interceptions. Even once fit, Azpilicueta may be hard-pressed to earn back a spot in the starting XI.

Doubt to face Leeds Azpilicueta (concussion) has "made progress" but he's still working his way through the concussion protocols, Chelsea manager Graham Potter announced in his press conference ahead...

Impact Azpilicueta seems unlikely to get through the protocols in time for this weekend's Leeds match, which would mean a second missed game or the Spaniard since suffering a concussion against Southampton in mid-February.

MARCH 3, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Ruled out versus Spurs Azpilicueta (concussion) has returned to training with Chelsea but will not be available in the squad to face Tottenham this weekend, according to manager Graham Potter on Friday.

Impact Azpilicueta had to come off on a stretcher after suffering a concussion in last weekend's loss to Southampton. While he's been released from the hospital and returned to training with his teammates, he will not be involved in Sunday's game. Reece James should return to the XI at-right back in his place.

Azpilicueta out of hospital after being kicked in head

Chelsea says captain Cesar Azpilicueta has been discharged from the hospital and is “recovering well" after being kicked in the head during an English Premier League game

Undergoing concussion protocols Azpilicueta has been discharged from the hospital but is undergoing concussion protocols and is a doubt to face Tottenham on Sunday.

Impact There's a slight chance Azpilicueta will be available Sunday if he passes the protocols on a minimum timeline, but given that he was in the hospital for a couple days, that may not be the case. No matter, without a midweek Champions League match, Reece James figures to return to the XI at right-back for upcoming contests.

Expected to be fine Azpilicueta (head, neck) posted a picture of himself giving a thumbs up and is expected to be fine after being carted off Saturday.

Impact Azpilicueta took a pretty bad kick Saturday, but all looks well and he may not miss any match time. That being the case, he was only starting against Southampton because of midweek Champions League and that Reece James had been a regular since his return from injury. Azpilicueta remains a bench option for Chelsea and will only be used here and there, seemingly only as a right-back.

Carted off Saturday Azpilicueta was forced off in the second half of Saturday's match against Southampton with a head and neck injury.

Impact Azpilicueta left the pitch in the 84th minute after being struck in the face from an overhead kick from Sekou Mara. Azpilicueta was carted off the pitch and could face a lengthy absence after suffering not only a head injury but also a suspected neck injury. Manager Graham Potter added 'He's in hospital. He is conscious and speaking to his wife. Hopefully, he is in the best place, and we're monitoring. He needs to take all the precautions we need to take now.'

On bench against Morocco Azpilicueta (calf) made the bench for Tuesday's match against Morocco.

Impact Azpilicueta was dealing with a calf injury that limited his participation in training up to this match. He may still be carrying this injury and not get a chance to play, though for now Marcos Llorente has passed both Azpilicueta and Dani Carvajal for the spot.

Skips Monday's training Azpilicueta (calf) missed Monday's training session ahead of Tuesday's match against Morocco, according to MARCA.

Impact Azpilicueta should be considered a doubt to start and play altogether for this Round of 16 contest. In his place, Dani Carvajal should start at right-back.

DECEMBER 5, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Remains out of training Azpilicueta (calf) spent Sunday's training session on the side ahead of Tuesday's match against Morocco, according to MARCA.

Impact Azpilicueta is now in a race against time to be fit for their Round of 16 matchup. If he can't make the starting lineup, Dani Carvajal is all but assured that spot at right-back instead.
