Chelsea team news: Injury, suspension list vs Manchester City
Chelsea will aim to extend their unbeaten run to three matches as they face Manchester City at the Etihad Stadium on Sunday. After enduring six consecutive defeats, the Blues have shown signs of recovery by earning four points against Bournemouth and Nottingham Forest. However, their tough fixture list begins with a challenging trip to face City, who have an opportunity to secure the Premier League title this weekend. Here is the latest injury and suspension news for Chelsea ahead of their clash with the soon-to-be-crowned champions.
Ben Chilwell sustained a hamstring injury in the latter stages of the match against Bournemouth and is expected to be sidelined for the remainder of the season. Armando Broja suffered a serious knee injury in a friendly last year and will not be available until the next season. Mason Mount underwent surgery to address a pelvic issue, and although his return before the end of the campaign is uncertain, he has been doing some training work recently.
Marc Cucurella missed the Nottingham Forest match due to a thigh problem but is likely to be fit for selection before the season concludes. Reece James is ruled out for the rest of the season due to a hamstring problem he sustained in a recent Champions League game against Real Madrid. N'Golo Kante, who had made a successful comeback from hamstring surgery, injured his groin ahead of the Forest game and will now miss the remainder of the season. Mateo Kovacic, who had an unspecified issue going into the Forest match, was substituted at halftime, and his availability for the final three games remains uncertain.
There are no suspensions for Chelsea in this match.
In summary, Chelsea will be without several key players for their match against Manchester City. Ben Chilwell, Armando Broja, Mason Mount, Reece James, N'Golo Kante, and Mateo Kovacic are either ruled out or doubtful for the fixture. Chelsea's depth will be tested as they face the formidable challenge of playing the soon-to-be-crowned Premier League champions.
