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

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

Chelsea welcome Manchester City to Stamford Bridge on Thursday night as they look to make it two wins from two since returning from the coronavirus shutdown.

Frank Lampard's side resumed their campaign with a 2-1 victory over Aston Villa on Sunday, as quickfire goals from Christian Pulisic and Olivier Giroud just after the hour mark ensured a winning return.

The result saw the Blues move five points clear of fifth-placed Manchester United in the battle for a top-four finish, but they welcome Man City to West London having already lost five times on home turf this term.

Here, Sports Mole rounds up all of the latest injury and suspension news ahead of the contest.
