Chelsea team news: Injury, suspension list vs. Valencia

Sports Mole rounds up Chelsea's latest injury and suspension news ahead of Wednesday's Champions League clash with Valencia at the Mestalla.

Chelsea travel to the Mestalla on Wednesday night for a crucial Group H clash with Valencia in the Champions League.

With four games gone, Frank Lampard's men are level on seven points with Ajax and the La Liga side, making this game a decisive affair.

The Blues will take inspiration from the way they fought back in their last European outing to record a remarkable 4-4 draw with Ajax at Stamford Bridge.

Here, Sports Mole rounds up the latest injury and suspension news for Chelsea ahead of this fixture.
