Chelsea team news: Injury, suspension list vs. Fulham

Chelsea make the short trip to Fulham on Sunday afternoon, having impressed in their last two outings in all competitions.

Maurizio Sarri appeared to be on the brink of the sack, but the head coach has witnessed his team go 210 minutes of football without conceding a goal against Manchester City and Tottenham Hotspur.

However, Chelsea remain in sixth place in the top-flight standings ahead of what they will consider a must-win fixture against their West London neighbours.

Here, Sports Mole looks at Chelsea's latest injury and suspension news ahead of their encounter with Claudio Ranieri's team.
