Chelsea team news: Injury, suspension list vs. Crystal Palace

Chelsea play host to Crystal Palace on Saturday afternoon looking to continue their impressive run of form in the Premier League.

The Blues have won their last five matches in England's top flight, which has moved the club into fourth position in the standings.

However, Frank Lampard has a number of selection issues to contend with ahead of taking on the Eagles at Stamford Bridge.

Rudiger has not featured since playing 45 minutes against Wolverhampton Wanderers in the middle of September. Lampard confirmed earlier this week that the defender had undergone tests on a pelvis injury, which suggests that the German will not be available until after the international break.
