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

Chelsea injury, suspension list vs. Crystal Palace

Chelsea will be bidding to book their spot in the final of the FA Cup when they take on Crystal Palace in the semi-finals of the competition on Sunday afternoon.

The Blues exited the Champions League in the quarter-finals on Tuesday evening despite winning 3-2 at Real Madrid in the second leg of their last-eight affair at Bernabeu.

Thomas Tuchel's side will be determined to bounce back from the European disappointment by advancing to the FA Cup final, where they will take on either Liverpool or Manchester City.

Here, Sports Mole rounds up all of Chelsea's latest injury and suspension news ahead of the clash with Palace, who last reached the final of the competition in 2016.

Ben Chilwell is currently working his way back from knee surgery, and it is highly unlikely that the England international will play again until next season.

Callum Hudson-Odoi is currently battling an Achilles issue, and Tuchel said earlier this month that the attacker was facing 'a few more weeks' on the sidelines.

Romelu Lukaku was not involved in the clash with Real Madrid due to an Achilles problem, but he could potentially be back in the squad against Palace this weekend.
