Chelsea return to action after the international break on Saturday afternoon when they square off against Leicester City at the King Power Stadium.
Enzo Maresca will be overseeing his first game in charge at his former club in the away dugout with Chelsea sitting in third position in the Premier League table.
While the Blues went into the two-week halt in action on the back of a 1-1 draw with Arsenal, they have a number of fitness concerns ahead of this contest.
That is despite three players having been able to make an appearance in training on Monday prior to the remainder of the international contingent returning to Cobham.
Here, Sports Mole rounds up Chelsea's latest injury and suspension news ahead of making the trip to the East Midlands to face the Foxes.

Although Lavia was withdrawn against Arsenal with what he later described as "a little knock", the midfielder was unable to represent Belgium during the international break. National team boss Domenico Tedesco has since revealed that the 20-year-old is dealing with a hamstring issue, putting his participation in this game in considerable doubt.
