Sports Mole rounds up Chelsea’s injury and suspension news ahead of their Conference League clash with Panathinaikos on Thursday.
Chelsea are back in Conference League action on Thursday evening when they take on Panathinaikos at Olympiako Stadio Spyros Louis in Greece.
The West Londoners won their opening game in the newly-expanded competitions by a 4-2 scoreline at home to Belgian outfit Gent three weeks ago.
However, Enzo Maresca‘s side have since failed to come out on top in their last two Premier League matches either side of the international break, following up a 1-1 draw with Nottingham Forest with a 2-1 defeat at Liverpool last weekend.
Here, Sports Mole rounds up Chelsea’s latest injury and suspension news ahead of the contest with Panathinaikos.

Status: Minor doubt
Type of injury: Head
Possible return date: October 24 (vs. Panathinaikos)
Filip Jorgensen was absent from Chelsea’s defeat at Liverpool after sustaining a head injury on international duty with Denmark Under-21s earlier this month, but recent reports claim that the goalkeeper is hopeful of returning to the matchday squad on Thursday.
CHELSEA’S SUSPENSION LIST
Chelsea have no suspended players for this match, with both Marc Cucurella and Wesley Fofana having served one-match domestic bans last weekend. The latter will not be involved on Thursday, though, as he – along with Cole Palmer, Romeo Lavia and Ben Chilwell – have not be registered in the Blues’ Conference League squad.
