Sports Mole rounds up Chelsea’s injury and suspension news ahead of Thursday’s Conference League fixture against FC Noah.
Chelsea are back in action on Thursday evening when they square off against FC Noah in the Conference League.
Enzo Maresca‘s side have made the perfect start to the League Phase of this competition, scoring four times in victories over Gent and Panathinaikos respectively.
However, the Blues have found goals harder to come by over the past week, the West Londoners battling their way to a 1-1 draw at Manchester United in the Premier League on Sunday evening.
Although Chelsea will effectively guarantee a top-24 place at the halfway stage with a win on Thursday, Maresca will again select a much-changed starting lineup.
Here, Sports Mole rounds up Chelsea’s latest injury and suspension news ahead of welcoming the minnows to Stamford Bridge.
