Chelsea team news: Injury, suspension list vs. Leicester City

Sports Mole rounds up Chelsea's injury and suspension news ahead of their FA Cup quarter-final with Leicester City.

Chelsea will be aiming to book their spot in the semi-finals of the FA Cup when they host Leicester City in the quarter-finals of the competition on Sunday afternoon.

The Blues will enter the contest with the Championship outfit off the back of a 3-2 success over Newcastle United in the Premier League on Monday night.

Mauricio Pochettino's side have overcome Preston North End, Aston Villa and Leeds United to book their position in the final eight of this competition.

Here, Sports Mole rounds up Chelsea's latest injury and suspension news ahead of the meeting with Leicester, who are top of the Championship table.
