Chelsea injury, suspension list vs. West Bromwich Albion

Chelsea will be looking to bounce back from their Premier League defeat to Liverpool last weekend when they head to West Bromwich Albion on Saturday.

The Blues followed up their opening game victory at Brighton & Hove Albion with a 2-0 reverse at home to the reigning champions in their last league outing.

Frank Lampard's men hit back with a 6-0 win over Barnsley in round three of the EFL Cup in midweek, however, with summer signing Thiago Silva making his debut in that one.

Status: Major doubt Type of injury: Hamstring Possible return date: September 26 (vs. West Brom)

Christian Pulisic has seen his return to action delayed after suffering from discomfort, and the American was not involved against Brighton, Liverpool or Barnsley. Lampard is not expected to take any unnecessary risks over Pulisic's fitness and the winger is set to miss out again here.

Andreas Christensen served a one-match suspension in midweek after being sent off against Liverpool and is back in contention for this trip to The Hawthorns.
