Chelsea injury, suspension news vs. Aston Villa: Malo Gusto, Pedro Neto updates

Sports Mole rounds up Chelsea's injury and suspension news ahead of Sunday's Premier League fixture against Aston Villa.

Chelsea return to action on Sunday afternoon when they square off against Aston Villa in the Premier League.

The Blues have prevailed in each of their two matches since the November international break, most recently registering a 2-0 victory over Heidenheim in the Conference League on Thursday night.

Although Enzo Maresca's side will be taking on an out-of-form Villa, there are just three points separating these two teams in the table.

Here, Sports Mole rounds up Chelsea's latest injury and suspension news ahead of making the trip to Germany.


Pedro Neto

Neto has missed the last two matches with what was initially described as "a problem" picked up while representing Portugal. However, Maresca has suggested that the winger will be in a position to return against Villa.


Malo Gusto
