Chelsea may reportedly have eight players out of contention for a starting role against Wolverhampton Wanderers this weekend.

Frank Lampard has endured a testing start to his reign at Stamford Bridge, witnessing his side register just five points from four Premier League fixtures.

The club legend has been hindered by the long-term injuries to Ruben Loftus-Cheek and Callum Hudson-Odoi, while Antonio Rudiger and N'Golo Kante have also been struggling for fitness.

After Emerson Palmieri picked up a knock while on international duty with Italy, The Sun claims that the Blues may have eight players missing for the trip to Molineux.

While Reece James is still recovering from ankle surgery, both Mateo Kovacic and Pedro are carrying Achilles and hamstring problems respectively.
