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

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

Chelsea will be aiming to make it three straight wins for the first time since October when they travel to Leicester City in the Premier League on Saturday afternoon.

The Blues were 1-0 winners over Leeds United in the league last weekend, with the result leaving them in 10th position in the table, 11 points behind fourth-placed Tottenham Hotspur.

Graham Potter's side then beat Borussia Dortmund 2-0 in the Champions League on Tuesday evening to book their spot in the quarter-finals of the competition.

Here, Sports Mole rounds up Chelsea's latest injury and suspension news ahead of their clash with Leicester, who have lost their last four matches in all competitions.
