A wounded Chelsea side return to action on Saturday teatime when they travel to Everton in the 31st gameweek of the Premier League.
Liam Rosenior’s men suffered another disappointing defeat at the hands of Paris Saint-Germain on Tuesday, a 3-0 hammering at Stamford Bridge which meant that they exited from Europe after an 8-2 aggregate defeat.
The capital club have now been defeated in three consecutive games across all competitions, and strive to avoid falling to a fourth setback in a row when they travel to Everton’s Hill Dickinson Stadium for the first time on Saturday evening
Here, Sports Mole rounds up Chelsea's latest injury and suspension news ahead of travelling to Merseyside to take on the eighth-placed Toffees.
TREVOH CHALOBAH
Status: Out
Type of injury: Ankle
Possible return date: Unknown
Stretchered off on Tuesday, Trevoh Chalobah raised concerns among those present at Stamford Bridge during the PSG match, and his manager did little to allay those fears in his post-match comments, suggesting that the centre-back could be out for the foreseeable future.
FILIP JORGENSEN

Jamie Gittens has been sidelined since he was forced off during Chelsea’s 3-2 victory over West Ham United at the end of January.

LEVI COLWILL
Status: Out
Type of injury: ACL

Levi Colwill continues to be absent due to a serious knee injury sustained prior to the season's commencement. Although he recently took part in a training session, there is currently no indication that the England international will return soon.
REECE JAMES

Possible return date: Unknown
Rosenior announced on Monday that Reece James sustained a hamstring injury late in Saturday's game against Newcastle and is expected to be sidelined until after the March international break.
MALO GUSTO

Malo Gusto missed the PSG second leg humiliation due to illness, and it remains to be seen if the Frenchman is back before Chelsea's trip to Merseyside.
