Reece James, Romeo Lavia: Chelsea injury, suspension list for Bournemouth clash

Sports Mole rounds up Chelsea's latest injury and suspension news ahead of their Premier League fixture with Bournemouth at the Vitality Stadium on Saturday evening.

Chelsea return to Premier League action on Saturday evening when they square off against Bournemouth at the Vitality Stadium.

Although the Blues were able to qualify for the Europa Conference League group phase before the international break, they endured a mixed start to the 2024-25 Premier League campaign.

Just four points were accumulated from fixtures against Manchester City, Wolverhampton Wanderers and Crystal Palace, two of those games taking place at Stamford Bridge.

Enzo Maresca is now under pressure to deliver more wins in various competitions to kick-start what the club's owners hope will be a successful season.

Here, Sports Mole rounds up Chelsea's injury and suspension news ahead of their clash with the Cherries, who enter this contest on the back of a famous victory at Everton.

Status: Out
Type of injury: Hamstring
Possible return date: Unknown

Reece James played in five of Chelsea's pre-season friendlies, but suffered yet another hamstring setback just before the start of the campaign. Although he has served a suspension that was running concurrently, it remains unclear when he may return.


Romeo Lavia

Status: Major doubt
Type of injury: Hamstring
Possible return date: September 14 (vs. Bournemouth)

After making his full Chelsea debut against Manchester City, and featuring as a substitute in the the first leg of the Europa Conference League playoff with Servette, Romeo Lavia is yet to feature again. Maresca added on Friday that the Belgian is "very close" to a return.


Malo Gusto

Status: Out
Type of injury: Thigh
Possible return date: Unknown

Malo Gusto's fitness was being managed ahead of the Palace encounter and that stance proved justified when he suffered a muscle injury during that game. Having needed to withdraw from international duty with France Under-21s, he has since been ruled out of this match.


CHELSEA'S SUSPENSION LIST

Chelsea have no players suspended for this fixture.
