Chelsea team news: Injury, suspension list vs. Wolverhampton Wanderers

Sports Mole rounds up Chelsea's latest injury and suspension news ahead of Sunday's Premier League clash with Wolverhampton Wanderers.

Chelsea are in need of a point against Wolverhampton Wanderers in their final Premier League game of the season to guarantee a top-four finish.

The Blues were on the wrong end of an eight-goal thriller with Liverpool on Wednesday evening and have slipped to fourth in the table.

With the sides directly above and below them - Manchester United and Leicester City respectively - facing off at the King Power Stadium on Sunday, Frank Lampard's men know that a draw against Wolves will get them over the line regardless of events elsewhere.

Here, Sports Mole rounds up Chelsea's latest injury and suspension news ahead of the final-day contest at Stamford Bridge.
