Chelsea team news: Injury, suspension list vs. Cardiff City

Sports Mole rounds up the latest injury and suspension news for top-four hopefuls Chelsea ahead of Sunday's trip to face Cardiff City in South Wales.

Chelsea will renew their top-four challenge when Premier League action resumes this weekend, with the Blues facing an away match against relegation-threatened Cardiff City on Sunday.

Maurizio Sarri's side travel to South Wales having missed the chance to move level on points with fourth-placed Arsenal before the international break, losing 2-0 to Everton at Goodison Park.

That result piled the pressure back on Sarri's shoulders, and anything other than victory against the Bluebirds this weekend would be another major dent in both their Champions League hopes and Sarri's chances of keeping the job beyond the end of the season.

Here, Sports Mole rounds up the latest injury and suspension news for Chelsea ahead of the weekend.



CHELSEA'S INJURY LIST

Ruben Loftus-Cheek

Status: Slight doubt
Type of injury: Back
Possible return date: March 31 (vs. Cardiff)

Ruben Loftus-Cheek was one of the first to pull out of the England squad for their matches against Czech Republic and Montenegro having suffered a flare-up of his long-standing back injury.


Davide Zappacosta

Status: Slight doubt
Type of injury: Ankle
Possible return date: March 31 (vs. Cardiff)

Davide Zappacosta was taken off with 21 minutes remaining of Chelsea's win over Dynamo Kiev earlier this month and remains a doubt due to an ankle problem, although the international break has given him time to recover.


Ethan Ampadu

Status: Out
Type of injury: Back
Possible return date: Unknown

Ethan Ampadu is currently struggling with a back injury and no return date has yet been set for the youngster, who has dipped in and out of the first-team squad this season.


Marco van Ginkel

Status: Out
Type of injury: Knee
Possible return date: Unknown

Marco van Ginkel has not played for Chelsea since 2013 and is unlikely to ever do so again. Having spent most of his Blues career out on loan, the midfielder is currently sidelined by a serious knee injury.


CHELSEA'S SUSPENSION LIST

Chelsea have no players suspended for this game.
