Chelsea team news: Injury, suspension list vs. Everton

sportsmole.co.uk, 7 December 2023, 10:22
Chelsea will be aiming to bounce back from their 2-1 defeat at Manchester United when they continue their Premier League campaign against Everton on Sunday afternoon.

The Blues entered the clash at Old Trafford off the back of a 3-2 success over Brighton & Hove Albion but were undone by a Scott McTominay brace in Wednesday night's affair.

Mauricio Pochettino's side are currently 10th in the Premier League table, boasting just 19 points from their opening 15 matches of the campaign.

Here, Sports Mole rounds up Chelsea's latest injury and suspension news ahead of their clash with Everton, who are 18th in the division due to their recent 10-point deduction.

Malo Gusto

Possible return date: Unknown

Chilwell remains on the sidelines with a hamstring issue, and it is unclear when the England international could be available for selection once again.

Christopher Nkunku

Type of injury: Knee

Possible return date: December 10 (vs. Everton)

Nkunku is back in first-team training after recovering from a knee operation, and there is a chance that the summer arrival could make his debut for the Blues against Everton.

Chukwuemeka is currently finding it difficult to fully overcome a knee injury which he suffered earlier this season, and he remains on the treatment table for the Blues.
