Chelsea head into Saturday's Premier League encounter with Burnley having put together a six-match winning streak in all competitions.
The latest of those victories came on Wednesday night as a late goal from Michy Batshuayi earned the Blues a 1-0 triumph over Ajax in the Champions League.
However, the West Londoners have several players who remain in the treatment room, leaving Frank Lampard with plenty to think about ahead of the meeting with the Clarets.
Here, Sports Mole rounds up the latest injury and suspension list for Chelsea ahead of the showdown at Turf Moor.

While Rudiger featured on the bench against Newcastle United, the centre-back did not travel with the rest of the squad to the Netherlands earlier this week. Lampard may be looking to give Rudiger game-time against Manchester United in the EFL Cup next week, rather than in the North-West at the weekend.
