Chelsea team news: Injury, suspension list vs. Juventus

Sports Mole rounds up Chelsea's injury and suspension news ahead of their Champions League clash with Juventus.

Thomas Tuchel's side will be aiming to move onto six points in Group H, having opened their section with a 1-0 home success over Zenit St Petersburg on September 14.

Here, Sports Mole rounds up all of Chelsea's latest injury and suspension news ahead of the contest with Juventus, who beat Malmo 3-0 in their Group H opener.
