Chelsea team news: Injury, suspension list vs. Brighton & Hove Albion

Sports Mole rounds up all of Chelsea's latest injury and suspension news ahead of their Premier League clash with Brighton & Hove Albion.

Chelsea will be looking to return to winning ways in the Premier League when they head to Brighton & Hove Albion on Tuesday night.

Thomas Tuchel's side suffered a 1-0 defeat to Manchester City in the league on Saturday, which has left them 13 points behind the leaders on the same number of games (22).

The Blues have now only won one of their last six league matches during a disappointing run of form, which has all but ended their hopes of winning the title this season.

Here, Sports Mole rounds up all of Chelsea's latest injury and suspension news ahead of the clash with Brighton, who are currently ninth in England's top flight.
