Sports Mole rounds up Chelsea's injury and suspension news ahead of their Premier League clash with Aston Villa.
Sports Mole

Chelsea return to action on Sunday when they take a trip to Villa Park to go head to head with Aston Villa in the Premier League.

The Blues secured consecutive Champions League victories over AC Milan on Tuesday when they comfortably edged out the Serie A champions 2-0 at San Siro to move top of Group E

Graham Potter's side, who have now won four games on the trot for the first time since March, turn their sights to the Premier League, where they are currently fourth in the standings after picking up 16 points from eight matches.

Here, Sports Mole rounds up Chelsea's latest injury and suspension news ahead of their clash with Aston Villa, who they have defeated in each of their last three encounters since a 2-1 loss in May 2021.


N'Golo Kante

Status: Out
Type of injury: Hamstring

N'Golo Kante has been out of action since coming off injured against Tottenham on August 14 and the Frenchman remains out of contention for the Blues after recently suffering another injury setback.


Wesley Fofana

Status: Out
Type of injury: Knee
Possible return date: November 11 (vs. Manchester City)

Wesley Fofana was forced off injured midway through last week's Champions League clash against AC Milan and the former Leicester City defender is set for a lengthy spell on the sidelines.


Reece James

Status: Major doubt
Type of injury: Knee
Possible return date: Unknown

Reece James was forced off with a knee problem shortly after the hour mark against AC Milan on Tuesday, and after an assessment on the severity of the injury, the Englishman is expected to sit out this weekend's trip to Villa Park.

Possible return date: October 16 (vs. Aston Villa)
