Chelsea team news: Injury, suspension list vs. West Ham United

Chelsea are back in Premier League action on Saturday afternoon as they square off against London rivals West Ham United.

The Blues have endured a mixed start to the campaign with Tuesday's defeat at Southampton keeping the club on seven points from five matches.

However, after a busy day of incomings and outcomings on Thursday, Thomas Tuchel's side are motivated to try to get back on track against their city neighbours.

Here, Sports Mole rounds up Chelsea's latest injury and suspension news ahead of their fixture with the Hammers.

Status: Out Type of injury: Hamstring Possible return date: Unknown

Last month, N'Golo Kante was withdrawn during the closing stages against Tottenham Hotspur due to a hamstring injury. While Tuchel has not given a specific time frame for his return, the Frenchman is expected to be absent until after the September international break.

Status: Out Type of injury: Jaw Possible return date: Unknown

Last weekend, Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang's family were the victims of a robbery at their Barcelona home, with the forward suffering a broken jaw. Although the injury is only expected to keep him out for three weeks, it appears unlikely that the Gabon international will make his debut before the September international break.

With Conor Gallagher having served his one-match ban for his dismissal against Leicester City, Chelsea have no player suspended for this contest.
