Chelsea team news: Injury, suspension list vs. Dinamo Zagreb

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

Chelsea will be looking to bounce back from their humiliating weekend result when they welcome Dinamo Zagreb to Stamford Bridge in the Champions League on Wednesday.

Just seven weeks after taking up the Blues' managerial hot seat, Graham Potter suffered a bitter return to the Amex Stadium as his side were beaten 4-1 by a rampant Brighton and Hove Albion side on Saturday.

The West London outfit, who have consequently dropped to sixth place in the Premier League table, head to the Champions League, where they have remarkably turned their fortunes around, winning their last three games in Group E to confirm their spot in the knockout stages.

Here, Sports Mole rounds up Chelsea's latest injury and suspension news ahead of their clash with Dinamo Zagreb, who will be looking to complete an impressive group double over Potter's men after claiming a 1-0 victory in September's reverse fixture.
