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

Badiashile, Lavia, James latest: Chelsea injury, suspension list vs. Everton

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

Badiashile, Lavia, James latest: Chelsea injury, suspension list vs. Everton

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

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

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".


Omari Kellyman

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

Summer signing Kellyman has missed the entirety of the season so far for the Blues and he will not return until the New Year at the earliest due to a hamstring injury of his own.


Romeo Lavia

Status: Major doubt
Type of injury: Muscle
Possible return date: December 21 (vs. Everton)

Although Lavia was unavailable for last weekend's fixture versus Brentford in the Premier League, Maresca had suggested that the Belgium international should come back into contention for the trip to Merseyside. However, on Friday, the Italian said Lavia "will probably struggle" to play at Goodison Park.


CHELSEA'S SUSPENSION LIST

Marc Cucurella

How many games?: One
Return date: Boxing Day (vs. Fulham)

Having been dismissed for a second yellow card after the final whistle versus Brentford, Cucurella will now serve a one-match suspension.
