Chelsea team news: Injury, suspension list vs. Tottenham Hotspur

Sports Mole rounds up Chelsea's injury and suspension news ahead of Sunday's London derby with Tottenham Hotspur in the Premier League.

Chelsea return to action on Sunday afternoon as they make the short trip across the capital to face rivals Tottenham Hotspur in the Premier League.

On the back of last weekend's 1-0 defeat at home to Southampton, Graham Potter's side are left in 10th position in the standings.

However, while the Blues sit 11 points adrift of their fourth-placed opponents, they possess a game in hand, and that scenario effectively renders this showdown as their biggest fixture of the season to date.

Ahead of a highly-anticipated encounter for both clubs, Sports Mole rounds up Chelsea's latest injury and suspension news.

Possible return date: March 4 (vs. Leeds United)

Having not played since August, N'Golo Kante has recently made his return to training after hamstring surgery. While Chelsea will hope to have him available as soon as possible, he will not be considered for this weekend.


Christian Pulisic

During last weekend's defeat to Southampton, Cesar Azpilicueta was kicked in the face by Sekou Mara, who was attempting an overhead kick. The defender required eight minutes of on-the-pitch treatment and subsequently spent time in hospital.

Although the Spaniard has since been discharged, he will now follow concussion protocols, ruling him out of this fixture.
