The Chelsea team news has been confirmed ahead of their Premier League clash against Arsenal on Sunday afternoon.
Liam Rosenior’s side have had another full week to prepare for the trip to the Emirates following their 1-1 draw against Burnley, who inflicted frustration on the Blues at Stamford Bridge last weekend to ensure Chelsea drew back-to-back league games.
Chelsea will be desperate to get back to winning ways to get their Champions League qualification bid back on course, whilst also damaging Arsenal’s title hopes should they take at least a point from north London.
But Rosenior is dealing with several fitness issues as he deliberates over his selection to face Mikel Arteta’s Gunners.
Chelsea continue to be without Levi Colwill, Marc Cucurella, Dario Essugo, Jamie Gittens and Estevao.
In positive news, club captain Reece James is set to be available after his precautionary withdrawal against Burnley. Romeo Lavia is continuing to step up his return after his inclusion on the bench last weekend.
