The longer the international break, the longer our Team News preview articles become. That's because the three, instead of the usual two week FIFA window brought more injuries, recoveries and rehabilitations that we typically see during the internationals. And Chelsea, ahead of their visit from AFC Bournemouth, have a very long list of injury concerns, consisting of Reece … [Read more...] about Chelsea Team News vs Bournemouth: Palmer, James, Gittens, Caicedo, Pedro, Palestra

Chelsea Injury Updates: Moises Caicedo, Marco Palestra, Cole Palmer
Chelsea FC head into the September-October internationals (yes, it's a combo platter international break) sitting in the very last position on the first page of the standings. Yes, 10th place, which is as "mid" as the kids like to say, as it gets. Injuries are a big reason why Chelsea are so pedestrian thus far this season. With midfield maestro Moises Caicedo and summer … [Read more...] about Chelsea Injury Updates: Moises Caicedo, Marco Palestra, Cole Palmer
Chelsea Team News at Brentford: James, Pedro, Caicedo, Palestra, Henderson, Emegha
Chelsea heads to Brentford on Friday night, for a slightly-above-mid-table London derby.

Chelsea Team News at Arsenal: Moises Caicedo, Marco Palestra, Jordan Henderson
Chelsea had a historical summer transfer window! We won't be able to appreciate it fully until all the new arrivals have played, and that won't come until after this weekend, given how both Marco Palestra (unspecified injury) and Jordan Henderson (recovery from a wrist injury) will miss out at Arsenal this weekend.

Chelsea Team News vs Luton Town: Moises Caicedo, Marco Palestra, Wesley Fofana
Chelsea FC were missing a few key players last night, in their 3-2 win over Fulham FC. A couple of those absentees were more than a bit surprising, such as midfielder Moises Caicedo and defender Marco Palestra. The good news is that neither player is seriously injured, and only just nursing knocks right now. Palestra and Caicedo just had some minor setbacks in training this … [Read more...] about Chelsea Team News vs Luton Town: Moises Caicedo, Marco Palestra, Wesley Fofana
Chelsea Team News vs Arsenal: Moises Caicedo, Marc Cucurella

Chelsea Team News at Manchester City: Marc Cucurella, Jorrel Hato, Moises Caicedo
The first big match of 2026 is quite obvious- Chelsea at Manchester City. It's without a doubt the biggest headliner match of the first weekend in the new year. The visiting Blues come in with a couple new injury concerns- defenders Marc Cucurella and Jorrel Hato. The latter is just 19, and more of a squad player, so he likely won't play a huge role here, even if he is passed … [Read more...] about Chelsea Team News at Manchester City: Marc Cucurella, Jorrel Hato, Moises Caicedo
Chelsea Team News at Cardiff City: Liam Delap, Moises Caicedo, Marc Guiu
Chelsea manager Enzo Maresca gave an update, of sorts, on injured striker Liam Delap this weekend. While he didn't provide a true timeline of return for the striker stricken with a shoulder injury, he did make it known that it won't be for awhile. The Blues boss gave a ballpark figure on Delap: "We don't know yet. It can be still, 2,3, 4 weeks... We don't know exactly how … [Read more...] about Chelsea Team News at Cardiff City: Liam Delap, Moises Caicedo, Marc Guiu
