Chelsea are back in action on Saturday evening when they square off against Manchester City in the FA Cup semi-finals.
Although Mauricio Pochettino's side have recently been criticised, the Blues bounced back with a 6-0 victory over Everton in the Premier League earlier this week.
However, Chelsea have already suffered one heartbreak at Wembley Stadium this season - losing to Liverpool in the EFL Cup final - and Pochettino will be hoping that his side can continue their unbeaten run against the 2023 winners from earlier in the season.
Here, Sports Mole rounds up Chelsea's latest injury and suspension news ahead of the showdown with Man City in the capital.
