Sports Mole rounds up Chelsea's latest injury and suspension news ahead of their Premier League fixture with Crystal Palace at Stamford Bridge on Sunday.

Chelsea welcome Crystal Palace to Stamford Bridge on Sunday looking to build on an impressive victory in the Premier League last weekend.

Despite an array of incomings and outgoings, Chelsea looked a unit that was finely tuned in their 6-2 win away to Wolverhampton Wanderers a week ago, earning them their first points of the new season.

However, a midweek defeat in Switzerland against Servette may have dampened spirits slightly, even though manager Enzo Maresca did rotate heavily, and the side still progressed through Conference League qualifying.

Here, Sports Mole rounds up Chelsea's injury and suspension news ahead of their clash with the Eagles, who enter the fixture on the back of two straight losses.

Status: Major doubt
Type of injury: Hamstring
Possible return date: September 14 (vs. Bournemouth)

After making his full Chelsea debut against Manchester City, and being given a brief cameo against Servette two weeks ago, Romeo Lavia has picked up a hamstring injury that is set to keep him out until after the international break.
