Sports Mole rounds up Chelsea's latest injury and suspension news ahead of Sunday's Premier League clash with Everton.

Chelsea will be looking to return to winning ways in the Premier League when they welcome Everton to Stamford Bridge on Sunday afternoon.

The Blues were held to a 2-2 draw by Bournemouth in the league last weekend but did record a 2-0 victory over Liverpool in the fifth round of the FA Cup on Tuesday night.

As it stands, Frank Lampard's side are fourth in the Premier League table, three points clear of fifth-placed Manchester United on the same number of matches.

Here, Sports Mole rounds up Chelsea's latest injury and suspension news ahead of the clash with Carlo Ancelotti's side in the capital.


Tammy Abraham

Status: Major doubt
Type of injury: Ankle/illness
Possible return date: March 8 (vs. Everton)

Tammy Abraham is currently struggling to overcome an ankle issue, and the Englishman has recently been to Barcelona to see a specialist. The striker has also been struggling with illness, although he could potentially be available for Sunday's clash in the English capital.


N'Golo Kante

Status: Major doubt
Type of injury: Adductor
Possible return date: March 8 (vs. Everton)

N'Golo Kante has been absent since picking up an adductor injury against Manchester United last month. The France international could make his return against the Toffees, though.


Andreas Christensen

Status: Minor doubt
Type of injury: Knock
Possible return date: March 8 (vs. Everton)

Lampard revealed in his pre-match press conference ahead of the Liverpool clash that Andreas Christensen picked up a "small issue" against Bournemouth, but the centre-back could be available this weekend.


Callum Hudson-Odoi

Status: Major doubt
Type of injury: Hamstring
Possible return date: March 8 (vs. Everton)

Callum Hudson-Odoi has missed Chelsea's last three Premier League matches with a hamstring problem, but the attacker is thought to be entering the latter stages of his recovery and could feature in this one.


Christian Pulisic

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

Christian Pulisic has been out since New Year'a Day with an adductor problem, and it is still unclear when the United States international will be available for selection once again.


Marco van Ginkel

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

Marco van Ginkel has not played a match for well over a year due to a serious knee injury, while he has not featured for Chelsea since 2013. It is unclear whether the midfielder will play again this season.


Mateo Kovacic

Status: Major doubt
Type of injury: Achilles
Possible return date: March 8 (vs. Everton)

Mateo Kovacic was forced off in the first half against Liverpool after picking up an Achilles injury. The former Real Madrid midfielder has therefore emerged as a major doubt for this weekend's clash.


Willian

Status: Major doubt
Type of injury: Achilles
Possible return date: March 8 (vs. Everton)

Like Kovacic, Willian also picked up an Achilles issue against Liverpool. Lampard claimed after the match that the Brazilian's issue was less serious than his teammate's, but he is a doubt for the clash with Everton.


CHELSEA'S SUSPENSION LIST

Jorginho

Status: Out
Possible return date: March 18 (vs. Bayern Munich)

Jorginho will miss Chelsea's next two Premier League matches against Everton and Aston Villa after picking up his 10th yellow card of the season against Bournemouth last weekend.
