PSG vs Chelsea early injury news as 6 ruled out and 1 doubt
All the early injury news surrounding Chelsea and next Champions League opponents PSG.
Chelsea are back in Champions League action on Wednesday when they face PSG away from home at Parc des Princes. The Blues edged past Wrexham in the FA Cup on Saturday but now face the European champions in a much sterner test.
Though, PSG have taken a step back since last season, currently holding only a one-point lead at the top of Ligue 1 and losing to AS Monaco over the weekend. Here we round up the injury latest surrounding PSG and Chelsea coming into this one.
Joao Neves - Doubt
Neves has been out for the last week with an ankle issue, but he is hoping to train today (Monday) and return for the Chelsea clash.
Fabian Ruiz - Out
Ruiz is now set to be out for a little longer than expected and will miss this one as he looks to get fully fit before returning.
Quentin Ndjantou - Out
Quentin had to have hamstring surgery last month and will be out until some time in April.
Ousmane Dembélé - Fit
Dembélé returned to the bench last time out after a small injury and did come off the bench in the Monaco defeat. He should be fit to start here.
Jamie Bynoe-Gittens - Out
Rosenior has said: “Levi is doing really well with his long-term rehab...” The winger will be at least a couple of weeks more.
Estevao Willian - Out
Rosenior has said: “Estevao is back on the pitch running, which is great, and he’s doing really well.” Estevao will likely return next weekend.
Dario Essugo - Out
Rosenior has said: “Dario is back on the training pitch as well. Hopefully, we can get all these players fit and on the pitch before the end of the season.”
Levi Colwill - Out
In his latest update, Rosenior has said: “Levi is doing really well with his long-term rehab...” There is hope Colwill can return before the end of the season.
Mykhailo Mudryk - Out (Suspended)
Mudryk is suspended. A club statement in the summer read: “We can confirm that Mykhailo Mudryk has been charged with Anti-Doping Rule Violations alleging the presence and/or use of a prohibited substance, in terms of Regulations 3 and 4 of The FA's Anti-Doping Regulations. As this is an ongoing case, we are not in a position to comment further at this time.” Mudryk is not included in the final count due to the nature of his absence.
