Chelsea are back in action on Sunday afternoon when they square off against Everton in the Premier League.
The Blues make the trip to the North-West of England knowing that victory would see them move to the top of the standings ahead of Liverpool facing Tottenham Hotspur in North London later in the day.
Enzo Maresca's side warmed up for this contest with a 5-1 victory over Shamrock Rovers in the Conference League, their sixth successive victory in that competition.
Here, Sports Mole rounds up Chelsea's injury and suspension news ahead of their trip to Merseyside to face a club that finally has new owners at the helm.
Wesley Fofana
Status: Out
Type of injury: Hamstring
Possible return date: Unknown
After sustaining a hamstring injury in the win over Aston Villa, it was revealed Fofana will spend four-to-five weeks on the sidelines. As it stands, the Frenchman is still working his way back to fitness.
Reece James
Status: Out
Type of injury: Hamstring
Possible return date: Unknown
Another hamstring injury for James means that he is currently on the treatment table. However, while no date has been pencilled in for his return, the Englishman is back on the training pitch.
Benoit Badiashile

Maresca revealed that Badiashile picked up an injury in training ahead of the fixture with Brentford. He has since stated that he will be "out for a long period".
