Chelsea will aim to bounce back from their FA Cup disappointment when they welcome Leicester City to Stamford Bridge for Thursday's Premier League contest.

The Blues held Liverpool to a goalless draw after two hours of action at Wembley on Saturday before once again suffering penalty shootout heartache to the Reds in the final.

However, Thomas Tuchel's side are still sitting pretty in third place in the Premier League table and will confirm their spot in the top four with all three points on Thursday.

Here, Sports Mole rounds up all of Chelsea's latest injury and suspension news ahead of the clash with the Foxes.

Andreas Christensen was nowhere to be seen on the day of the cup final, and reports have since claimed that the Danish centre-back refused to play and could therefore have made his final appearance in blue before his deal runs out.
