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

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

Chelsea will be aiming to stretch their unbeaten run under Thomas Tuchel to 12 matches when they travel to Leeds United for Saturday's Premier League clash.

The Blues and their defensive solidity put Everton to the sword with ease at Stamford Bridge on Monday evening, as a Ben Godfrey own goal preceded a Jorginho penalty in a 2-0 win.

Chelsea moved four points clear of the Merseysiders in the race for a top-four spot with that victory earlier in the week, and the fourth-placed Blues now find themselves just four behind second-placed Manchester United with 10 games left to play.

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

Status: Out
Type of injury: Ankle
Possible return date: Unknown

Tammy Abraham has now missed Chelsea's last three Premier League matches due to an ankle problem, despite making a return to the training pitches before the Everton win. Tuchel has since conceded that he remains "concerned" about the striker's problem, and he will not be ready to face Leeds.


Thiago Silva

Status: Out
Type of injury: Thigh
Possible return date: Unknown

Thiago Silva was fit enough to make the bench against Everton, but the defender has since suffered another setback in his recovery from a thigh problem, so he will play no part in Saturday's game.


CHELSEA'S SUSPENSION LIST

Chelsea have no players suspended for this game.
