Chelsea team news: Injury, suspension list vs. Leicester City

:Headline: Chelsea team news: Injury, suspension list vs. Leicester City:
Sports Mole rounds up all of Chelsea's latest injury and suspension news ahead of Thursday's Premier League clash with Leicester City.
Sports Mole

Chelsea will aim to bounce back from their FA Cup disappointment when they welcome Leicester City to Stamford Bridge for Thursday's Premier League contest.

The Blues held Liverpool to a goalless draw after two hours of action at Wembley on Saturday before once again suffering penalty shootout heartache to the Reds in the final.

However, Thomas Tuchel's side are still sitting pretty in third place in the Premier League table and will confirm their spot in the top four with all three points on Thursday.

Here, Sports Mole rounds up all of Chelsea's latest injury and suspension news ahead of the clash with the Foxes.


Andreas Christensen

Status: Major doubt
Type of injury: Other
Possible return date: May 19 (vs. Leicester)

Andreas Christensen was nowhere to be seen on the day of the cup final, and reports have since claimed that the Danish centre-back refused to play and could therefore have made his final appearance in blue before his deal runs out.


Kai Havertz

Status: Major doubt
Type of injury: Hamstring
Possible return date: May 19 (vs. Leicester)

Kai Havertz picked up a hamstring problem before the cup final and was not able to play a part against Liverpool, so the Germany international has emerged as a major doubt for this contest.


Timo Werner

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

Tuchel revealed after the FA Cup final that Timo Werner complained of discomfort in the warm-up and could not play, and the attacker will miss this contest.


Callum Hudson-Odoi

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

Callum Hudson-Odoi's Achilles issue is still bedevilling him, and no date has been pencilled in for the Englishman's return yet.


Ben Chilwell

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

Tuchel is hopeful that Ben Chilwell will be back training with the first team by the end of the season following knee surgery, but the left-back is still not expected to return to the pitch until 2022-23.


Mateo Kovacic

Status: Major doubt
Type of injury: Ankle
Possible return date: May 19 (vs. Leicester)

Mateo Kovacic was surprisingly given the green light to line up in the FA Cup final despite concerns over an ankle injury, and the midfielder will need assessing ahead of this one after experiencing swelling.


CHELSEA'S SUSPENSION LIST

Chelsea have no players suspended for this match.
