Chelsea injury, suspension news and return dates vs. Manchester City: Romeo Lavia, Enzo Fernandez

:Headline: Chelsea injury, suspension news and return dates vs. Manchester City: Romeo Lavia, Enzo Fernandez:
Sports Mole rounds up all of Chelsea's latest injury and suspension news ahead of Saturday's Premier League fixture against Manchester City.
Sports Mole

Chelsea return to action on Saturday evening when they make the trip to the Etihad Stadium to face Manchester City.

Earlier this week, the Blues ended a five-match winless streak in the Premier League as they recorded a 3-1 victory at home to Wolverhampton Wanderers.

Although that result was required to kick-start their effort to finish in the top four of the standings, Enzo Maresca's side hold just a two-point lead over City heading into this fixture.

Here, Sports Mole rounds up Chelsea's injury and suspension news ahead of their trip to an improving Man City outfit who could be strengthened by three new signings for this contest.


Wesley Fofana

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

Wesley Fofana and Maresca have clashed over the former's recovery time from a hamstring injury. However, Fofana has made progress in recent days and is seemingly pushing for his predicted March return date.


Benoit Badiashile

Status: Out
Type of injury: Thigh
Possible return date: February 14 (vs. Brighton & Hove Albion)

Fellow defender Benoit Badiashile sustained a thigh problem in training last month, and Maresca has conceded that the former Monaco man will be absent until February.


Omari Kellyman

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

Summer signing Omari Kellyman is yet to make his Blues bow due to a serious hamstring injury, and there has still been no update on when the fledgling playmaker might be considered for selection again.


Levi Colwill

Status: Minor doubt
Type of injury: Unspecified
Possible return date: January 25 (vs. Man City)

Levi Colwill was a notable absentee from the squad for the Wolves game with an unspecified issue. However, Maresca suggested on Friday that the England international was in line to be available for the trip to the North-West.


Romeo Lavia

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

Romeo Lavia is back on the sidelines with a muscle injury just two games having made his latest recovery. Maresca has already ruled the Belgium international out of this contest and for 'another few weeks'


Enzo Fernandez

Status: Major doubt
Type of injury: Muscle
Possible return date: January 25 (vs. Man City)

Although it was suggested that Enzo Fernandez may be struggling to feature in this contest, Maresca hinted on Friday that the midfielder should be available, either from the starting lineup or the substitutes' bench.


CHELSEA'S SUSPENSION LIST

Mykhaylo Mudryk

Possible return date: Unknown

Ukrainian winger Mykhaylo Mudryk is currently serving a provisional doping ban after testing positive for meldonium; the player has been publicly supported by his manager but will remain unavailable for selection for the foreseeable future.
