Chelsea team news: Injury, suspension list vs. Middlesbrough

Sports Mole rounds up all of Chelsea's latest injury and suspension news ahead of their FA Cup clash with Middlesbrough.

Chelsea will be aiming to book their spot in the semi-finals of the FA Cup when they head to Middlesbrough in the quarter-finals of the competition on Saturday evening.

The Blues might have their issues off the field at the moment, but Wednesday's 2-1 victory over Lille in the second leg of their last-16 Champions League contest made it five straight wins in all competitions.

Thomas Tuchel's side booked their spot in the last eight of the FA Cup courtesy of a 3-2 victory at Luton Town in the previous round of the competition at the start of the month.

Here, Sports Mole rounds up all of Chelsea's latest injury and suspension news ahead of the clash with Middlesbrough, who have already eliminated both Manchester United and Tottenham Hotspur in the competition.
