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

Sports Mole looks at the latest injury and suspension news for Chelsea ahead of Wednesday's Premier League meeting with Tottenham Hotspur.

Chelsea play host to Tottenham Hotspur in the Premier League on Wednesday night having suffered an agonising penalty-shootout defeat to Manchester City in the EFL Cup final.

The Blues were able to keep out free-scoring City for 120 minutes, but it was Pep Guardiola's side who prevailed on spot kicks at Wembley Stadium.

However, Maurizio Sarri must deal with a short turnaround ahead of the game with Spurs, and the Italian may have to rotate a number of his players.

Here, Sports Mole looks at Chelsea's latest injury and suspension news ahead of their encounter with Mauricio Pochettino's side.
