Chelsea face lengthy absentee list ahead of Premier League fixture
Chelsea will be without six players for their Premier League fixture on 24 October, a notable list of absences as the club continue through the opening months of the season.
The absentees
Jamie Gittens is out with an ankle injury, while Reece James remains unavailable because of a knee injury. Emiliano Martinez is sidelined with a broken jawbone, and P. Chavarria is also listed as injured.
Emanuel Emegha misses out through a muscle injury, and Malo Gusto is absent due to illness, rounding out a six-strong casualty list for Chelsea ahead of the match.
Looking ahead
With such a wide spread of unavailability across the squad, Chelsea will need to manage the fixture without a significant number of options as they continue their Premier League campaign.
