Chelsea team news: Injury, suspension list vs. Bournemouth

Sports Mole rounds up all of Chelsea's latest injury and suspension news ahead of Sunday's Premier League clash with Bournemouth.

Chelsea will be aiming to return to winning ways in the Premier League when they travel to Bournemouth on Sunday afternoon.

The Blues entered the international break off the back of a 1-0 home loss to Nottingham Forest, which made it two defeats from their first four league games of the season.

Mauricio Pochettino's side have picked up four points thus far, which has left them down in 12th position in the table ahead of their clash with the Cherries.

Here, Sports Mole rounds up Chelsea's latest injury and suspension news ahead of their clash with Bournemouth, who are yet to taste victory in the league this term.
