Chelsea team news: Injury, suspension list vs. Manchester City

Chelsea injury, suspension list vs. Man City

Chelsea head into Saturday's Champions League final against Manchester City with the security of having already claimed a spot in next year's competition.

However, Thomas Tuchel has witnessed his side lose two of their last three fixtures in all competitions, including a defeat in the FA Cup final to Leicester City.

Despite prevailing twice against City in recent weeks, Tuchel has a couple of significant injury concerns as the club prepare to travel to Portugal.

Here, Sports Mole rounds up all of Chelsea's latest injury and suspension news ahead of the showdown at Estadio do Dragao.


Edouard Mendy

Status: Minor doubt Type of injury: Ribs Possible return date: May 29 (vs. Man City)

Having collided with the post during Sunday's defeat at Aston Villa, Mendy needed to be substituted at half time. However, Mendy has taken part in training in recent days, suggesting that he should keep his place between the sticks.


N'Golo Kante

Status: Minor doubt Type of injury: Muscle Possible return date: May 29 (vs. Man City)

Kante was withdrawn during the first half of last week's win over Leicester with Tuchel citing a minor muscle issue. Although the Frenchman missed the following match at Villa, the midfielder has taken part in training this week.
