Chelsea team news: Injury, suspension list vs. Wolverhampton Wanderers

Sports Mole rounds up Chelsea's injury and suspension news ahead of Sunday's Premier League fixture against Wolverhampton Wanderers.

Chelsea return to action on Sunday afternoon when they play host to Wolverhampton Wanderers in the Premier League.

Despite their recent upturn in form, the Blues were humbled on Wednesday night as they suffered a deserved 4-1 defeat at the hands of Premier League leaders Liverpool.

Although Mauricio Pochettino was able to welcome back a couple of key first-team players in that fixture, the Argentine still has a wide array of stars in the treatment room.

Here, Sports Mole rounds up Chelsea's latest injury and suspension news ahead of welcoming the West Midlands outfit to the capital.


Levi Colwill

Possible return date: February 4 (vs. Wolves)

Levi Colwill has missed the last two matches with what has been described as a 'minor tendon injury'. As it stands, it appears unlikely that the defender will be considered for a recall this weekend.


Wesley Fofana

Wesley Fofana is yet to make an appearance for Chelsea this term due to a serious knee injury and the defender is unlikely to return before next season.
