Chelsea injury, suspension list vs. Brighton: Will Reece James return?

Sports Mole rounds up Chelsea's latest injury and suspension news ahead of Thursday's Europa Conference League fixture against Gent.

Chelsea return to action on Thursday evening when they kick off their Europa Conference League main-stage schedule with a fixture against Gent.

Enzo Maresca's side have been in free-scoring form of late, with their latest victory by a 4-2 scoreline versus Brighton & Hove Albion in the Premier League on Saturday.

As a result, the Blues currently sit in fourth position in the standings, but Maresca is expected to select a heavily-rotated side for this contest.

Here, Sports Mole rounds up Chelsea's injury and suspension news ahead of welcoming their Belgian opponents to the capital.

James has suffered a setback in his recovery from his latest hamstring problem and Maresca recently admitted he was unsure when the club captain would be available for selection.


CHELSEA'S SUSPENSION LIST

While Chelsea have no players suspended for this fixture, the likes of Wesley Fofana, Ben Chilwell, Romeo Lavia and Cole Palmer were left out of the squad for this competition as Maresca looks to manage their respective game time.
