Chelsea team news: Injury, suspension list vs. Sheffield United

Sports Mole rounds up all of Chelsea's latest injury and suspension news ahead of Sunday's Premier League clash with Sheffield United.

Fresh on the back of seeing off Tottenham Hotspur, Chelsea travel to the Premier League's bottom side Sheffield United on Sunday evening in their next outing.

The Blues beat their London rivals 1-0 through a first-half penalty from Jorginho to move to within four points of the top four.

Thomas Tuchel's men have six more games to play in a congested February, but the recently-appointed German coach has a few injury issues to deal with.

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