Chelsea vs Legia Warsaw injury news as 9 players ruled out

Chelsea are back in action this evening, on Thursday, when they take on Legia Warsaw in the second leg of their Conference League quarter-final. The Blues take a commanding lead into the second leg, currently leading 3-0 as they look to finish the job at Stamford Bridge.

But Enzo Maresca will want to see his side drum up some momentum having consistently stumbled in the race for a top four spot over recent weeks. And on that front, it will be interesting to see who Maresca plays here given the need to prioritise the Premier League. Here we round up the latest injury news surrounding both teams.

Jan Leszczynski - Out

The centre-back is out until the summer with an ACL injury.

Pawel Wszolek - Out

Wszolek is out until some time in May with a hamstring issues.

Bartosz Kapustka - Out

The attacking midfielder recently suffered a serious knee injury that will keep him out for much of the calendar year.

Marc Gual - Out

Gual is absent with a hamstring issue he suffered a couple of weeks ago. The striker will be a miss given Warsaw’s need for goals.

Wesley Fofana - Out

Fofana will be out for the season, with Maresca having said: “Unfortunately, Wes will be out for the rest of the season.”

Omari Kellyman - Out

Kellyman has confirmed he will miss the end of the season, writing on social media: “Beyond gutted to say that this season has come to an early end for me due to a re-injury of my hamstring. 24-25 has been a tough season for me mentally and physically due to injury, but it’s important now that I take time to get this right...”

Marc Guiu - Out

Guiu will miss this one, but he is said to be making good progress. Maresca has recently confirmed: “We have good news on Marc. From today, he looks quite good, much better, and he can be back before the season finishes.”

Romero Lavia - Out

Maresca has recently said: “Hopefully, we can get Romeo very soon. I don’t know if for the next game, but he looks quite good in terms of being back soon.” Lavia is back in full training, but he won’t be risked here, especially with the need to have him fit for the run-in.

Mykhailo Mudryk - Out (Suspended)

Mudryk remains out due to a suspension over alleged consumption of a banned substance. Maresca has said: “The only thing I can say is that we are close to Mykhailo as a club, and we are trying to help him. In terms of an update, I don't have one.”
