Chelsea injury, suspension list and return dates for Port Vale: Reece James, Trevoh Chalobah, Filip Jorgensen latest

Chelsea are back in action on Saturday evening when they play host to Port Vale in the FA Cup quarter-finals.

The Blues went into the March international break having put together a four-match losing streak in all competitions.

At a time when they sit in sixth position in the Premier League table and are struggling to secure European qualification for next season, the FA Cup represents an opportunity for Liam Rosenior and his squad to earn an appearance at Wembley Stadium.

Here, Sports Mole rounds up Chelsea's latest injury and suspension news ahead of welcoming League One's bottom club to the capital.
