Chelsea commence their Club World Cup campaign on Monday night when they square off against Los Angeles FC.

Enzo Maresca gave his squad a week to 10 days off after a 57-game campaign which concluded with Conference League glory.

However, many members of the senior group have been representing their nations in international fixtures since the beginning of the month.

Here, Sports Mole takes a look at the latest injury and suspension news ahead of the Premier League giants attempting to take the first step towards success in the United States.
