Chelsea injury, suspension news vs. Southampton: Wesley Fofana, Reece James updates

Sports Mole rounds up Chelsea's injury and suspension news ahead of Wednesday's Premier League fixture against Southampton.

Chelsea will look to continue their fine form when they travel to St Mary's to face Southampton in the Premier League on Wednesday.

Enzo Maresca's men extended their unbeaten run to six games by beating Aston Villa 3-0 at the weekend, and remain in the top four, only behind Arsenal courtesy of alphabetical order.

Opponents Southampton are currently cut adrift at the bottom, four points behind the nearest team, after they could only take a point away at Brighton & Hove Albion on Friday, despite having a goal disallowed for a contentious offside decision.

Here, Sports Mole rounds up Chelsea's latest injury and suspension news ahead of making the trip to the South Coast.
