Chelsea team news: Injury, suspension list vs. Tottenham Hotspur

Chelsea play host to Tottenham Hotspur in the Premier League on Wednesday night having suffered an agonising penalty-shootout defeat to Manchester City in the EFL Cup final.

The Blues were able to keep out free-scoring City for 120 minutes, but it was Pep Guardiola's side who prevailed on spot kicks at Wembley Stadium.

However, Maurizio Sarri must deal with a short turnaround ahead of the game with Spurs, and the Italian may have to rotate a number of his players.

Here, Sports Mole looks at Chelsea's latest injury and suspension news ahead of their encounter with Mauricio Pochettino's side.
