Chelsea Team News<\/h3>\n

All news on injuries and suspensions for both teams comes from PremierInjuries<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The big story from Cobham is the suspension of Enzo Fernandez. The Argentine scored a late equaliser in the reverse fixture under interim manager Callum McFarlane when the Blues were in a place of turmoil after the departure of Enzo Maresca. The vice-captain is out for this one as the club handed down a punishment for comments he made over the international break.<\/p>\n

Actual captain Reece James is also missing from this one, he is one of three defensive absentees with Trevoh Chalobah and Levi Colwill also deemed unavailable.<\/p>\n

Mykhailo Mudryk is serving an indefinite suspension as Jamie Gittens, Benoit Badiashile, and Filip Jorgensen are likely to join him on the sidelines for this one.<\/p>\n

    It is a much easier time for Guardiola who has the same three injuries to contend with as he had in recent fixtures. They are all hits to the back line in Josko Gvardiol, Ruben Dias, and John Stones but it is something the squad can deal with given the strong performances of Abdukodir Khusanov.<\/p>\n
