Chelsea team news: Injury, suspension list vs. Watford

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

Chelsea will be bidding to end their 2021-22 Premier League campaign on a positive note when they welcome Watford to Stamford Bridge on Sunday afternoon.

The Blues, who will finish third in the table unless there is a remarkable swing in goal difference involving fourth-placed Tottenham Hotspur, played out a 1-1 draw with Leicester City on Thursday night.

Here, Sports Mole rounds up all of Chelsea's latest injury and suspension news ahead of the clash with Watford, who have already been relegated back to the Championship.
