Chelsea team news: Injury, suspension list vs. Tottenham Hotspur

Chelsea will be looking to secure back-to-back victories at the beginning of the 2022-23 Premier League season when they welcome London rivals Tottenham Hotspur to Stamford Bridge on Sunday.

The Blues claimed a slender 1-0 away win at Frank Lampard's Everton last weekend, with a Jorginho penalty kick enough to separate the two sides at Goodison Park.

Thomas Tuchel's men will now be hoping to follow up their success on Merseyside with a derby triumph over a Spurs side who have lost each of their last five meetings against the West Londoners.

Status: Minor doubt Type of injury: Fatigue/Cramp Possible return date: August 14 (vs. Spurs)

After going down on several occasions against Everton, summer signing Kalidou Koulibaly was eventually replaced midway through the second half by fellow new recruit Marc Cucurella, but Tuchel confirmed after the match that the defender was only suffering from cramp and has not sustained a serious injury.

Chelsea have no players suspended for the clash with Spurs.
