Chelsea team news: Injury, suspension list vs. Luton Town

Sports Mole rounds up all of Chelsea's latest injury and suspension news ahead of Friday's Premier League encounter against Luton Town.

Chelsea return to Premier League action on Friday evening when they play host to Luton Town at Stamford Bridge.

Here, Sports Mole rounds up Chelsea's latest injury and suspension news ahead of their meeting with the top-flight newcomers.
