Chelsea team news: Injury, suspension list vs. Sheffield United

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

Chelsea host winless Sheffield United at Stamford Bridge on Saturday looking to make it four wins in a row across all competitions.

Frank Lampard's side have scored 10 goals without reply in three successive victories so far, while their much-improved clean sheet record now stretches back five games.

Another victory on Saturday could temporarily lift them to within one point of leaders Liverpool, and they will be firm favourites against a Sheffield United side languishing towards the bottom of the table.

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



Kai Havertz

Status: Out
Type of injury: Coronavirus
Possible return date: November 21 (vs. Newcastle United)

Summer signing Kai Havertz tested positive for coronavirus in the buildup to the midweek Champions League win over Rennes, ruling him out until the other side of the upcoming international break.


Christian Pulisic

Status: Out
Type of injury: Hamstring
Possible return date: November 21 (vs. Newcastle United)

Christian Pulisic was forced to pull out of last weekend's win over Burnley in the warm-up after sustaining a hamstring injury, although fortunately for the winger it is nowhere near as serious as his last one. Indeed, the American is already back in training but Saturday's match will come too soon.

Billy Gilmour is coming towards the final stages of his recovery from a long-term knee injury and Saturday's match could even be the last he misses as a result of the problem, with a return date pencilled in for after the break.


CHELSEA'S SUSPENSION LIST
