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

Chelsea injury, suspension list vs. Man City

Chelsea will be looking to extend their unbeaten streak to three matches when they face Manchester City at the Etihad Stadium on Sunday.

On the back of six successive defeats, the Blues have recently responded by collecting four points from matches against Bournemouth and Nottingham Forest.

However, Frank Lampard's side begin their extremely tough run-in with a trip to the North West to face City, who have an opportunity to seal the Premier League title over the weekend.

Here, Sports Mole rounds up Chelsea's latest injury and suspension news ahead of their clash with the soon-to-be-crowned champions.


Ben Chilwell

Status: Out Type of injury: Hamstring Possible return date: Unknown

Ben Chilwell picked up a hamstring injury in the latter stages of the clash with Bournemouth earlier this month, and he is now likely to be sidelined for the rest of the campaign.


Armando Broja

Status: Out Type of injury: Knee Possible return date: Unknown

Armando Broja suffered a serious knee injury in a friendly towards the end of last year, and the forward will not be available for Chelsea until next season.


Mason Mount

Status: Out Type of injury: Pelvic Possible return date: Unknown

Mason Mount recently underwent surgery to address a pelvic problem which has proved difficult to overcome and he faces a battle to return before the end of the campaign. However, the playmaker has recently undertaken some work on the training pitch.


Marc Cucurella

Status: Out Type of injury: Thigh Possible return date: May 25 (vs. Manchester United)

Chelsea were again missing Marc Cucurella against Forest due to a thigh problem, but the Spaniard is expected to be available for selection before the end of the campaign.

Reece James is out for the remainder of the season due to the hamstring problem that he suffered in the recent Champions League clash with Real Madrid.

Having gone into the Forest game with an unspecified issue, Mateo Kovacic only lasted until half time. As it stands, it is unclear whether the Croatian will play any part during the final three games.
