Chelsea are back in action on Sunday when they play host to Arsenal in a mammoth Premier League showdown before the international break.
The Blues, albeit with a much-changed starting lineup, warmed up for this contest with the 8-0 demolition of FC Noah in the Conference League on Thursday night.
With Chelsea having been held to a 1-1 draw at Manchester United last weekend, that performance may have put doubt in Enzo Maresca's mind as to who to select for this fixture.
Nevertheless, there is one star player who is a major doubt courtesy of the injury that he sustained at Old Trafford.
Here, Sports Mole rounds up Chelsea's latest injury and suspension news ahead of welcoming one of their fierce rivals to Stamford Bridge.

Maresca revealed on Wednesday that Cole Palmer was still to return to training after suffering a knee injury after a late tackle from Manchester United's Lisandro Martinez last weekend. Although Maresca's latest update on Wednesday suggests that the playmaker is "getting better", he remains a major doubt for this game.

Jadon Sancho has not been seen in a Chelsea shirt since being hauled off at half time against Liverpool on October 20. That has been a consequence of illness, ineligibility and a knock, the latter making him a doubt for Sunday's fixture.
