Chelsea team news: Injury, suspension list vs. West Ham United

:Headline: Chelsea team news: Injury, suspension list vs. West Ham United:
Sports Mole rounds up all of Chelsea's latest injury and suspension news ahead of Sunday's Premier League fixture against West Ham United.
Sports Mole

Chelsea will be aiming to record their first victory of the 2023-24 Premier League campaign when they head to West Ham United on Sunday for a London derby.

The Blues opened their season with a 1-1 draw against Liverpool last weekend, coming from behind to secure a share of the spoils in Mauricio Pochettino's first match at the helm.

Chelsea have no European football this season following their disastrous 2022-23 campaign and can therefore put a lot of their focus on the league.

Here, Sports Mole rounds up Chelsea's latest injury and suspension news ahead of their clash with West Ham, who drew 1-1 with Bournemouth in their first match of the campaign.


Reece James

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

New Chelsea captain Reece James is said to be facing a spell on the sidelines with a hamstring issue, although it is unclear whether he suffered the problem against Liverpool or during a training session this week.


Christopher Nkunku

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

Chelsea's new signing Nkunku will be missing in the early months of the campaign due to a serious knee injury that has required him to undergo an operation.


Benoit Badiashile

Status: Out
Type of injury: Hamstring
Possible return date: August 25 (vs. Luton Town)

Benoit Badiashile has returned to training after recovering from a hamstring injury, and it is believed that he could make his return to the squad against Luton Town on August 25.


Wesley Fofana

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

Wesley Fofana faces a battle to return before the end of the season, having suffered an ACL injury, with the centre-back not expected to be available until next March at the earliest.


Trevoh Chalobah

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

Trevoh Chalobah was not involved against Liverpool due to a thigh issue, and the centre-back will also miss out this weekend, but he could potentially return to the field in September.
