Sports Mole rounds up Chelsea's injury and suspension news ahead of Saturday's FA Cup third round tie against Morecambe.
Sports Mole

Chelsea return to action on Saturday afternoon when they play host to Morecambe in the FA Cup third round.

The Blues head into this encounter on the back of four matches without a win in the Premier League, leaving them in fourth position in the table.

However, Enzo Maresca will back what is likely to be a much-changed starting lineup to overcome their next opponents, who sit in 23rd place in the League Two standings.

Here, Sports Mole rounds up Chelsea's injury and suspension news ahead of welcoming the Shrimps to West London.


Wesley Fofana

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

Fofana has not been involved for Chelsea since suffering a hamstring injury in early December. Last week, Maresca revealed that the defender could miss the rest of the season with his issue being worse than initially thought.


Benoit Badiashile

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

Badiashile picked up an injury in training ahead of the December fixture with Brentford, and the centre-back is facing a lengthy spell on the sidelines. Maresca has revealed it will be at least February before he returns.


Omari Kellyman

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

Kellyman has missed the entirety of the season so far for the Blues due to a hamstring problem and he is not yet close to being considered for selection.


Romeo Lavia

Status: Minor doubt
Type of injury: Muscle
Possible return date: January 11 (vs. Morecambe)

Lavia has been unavailable for the last five Premier League fixtures due to a hamstring problem. Based on Maresca's previous comments, the Italian may be in contention to return to the squad for this encounter.


Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall

Status: Major doubt
Type of injury: Unknown
Possible return date: January 11 (vs. Morecambe)

Dewsbury-Hall has been absent from the last four Premier League squads. Although that was initially down to technical reasons, the Englishman is now sidelined through injury, and it is unclear when he may return.


CHELSEA'S SUSPENSION LIST

Chelsea have no suspension issues heading into this game.
