Chelsea hold a 10-point lead over our rivals at the top of the table with just 10 Premier League games left to play between now and the end of the season. However, while most of the players might be elated to be crowned champions at the end of the season, some players could miss out on Premier League winners’ medal if they don’t get enough appearances between now and the end of the season.
According to Premier League rules, players need to make a minimum of five league appearances to qualify for a medal.
Not every Chelsea player in the squad have made up to five Premier League appearances with just 10 games left to play. Below are players that could miss out on the winners’ medal if they don’t get more appearances between now and the end of the season.
