Chelsea vs West Ham final injury update as 9 ruled out and 2 doubts

Chelsea and West Ham are preparing to face off in an all-London clash at Stamford Bridge on Monday night. Graham Potter’s return to the Bridge has dominated the headlines, while it’s no secret that the two sides are facing off on the eve of deadline day, with neither boss likely to be pleased with the scheduling.

In terms of the game itself, the Blues are in the midst of a top four race with Manchester City and Newcastle United, while the Hammers are still in the bottom half at this stage, hoping to take further steps forward under Potter having made small improvements so far. Here we round up the injury news surrounding both teams ahead of the game.

Michail Antonio - Out

Antonio is out long-term after suffering a fracture and other injuries in a car accident.

Jean-Clair Todibo - Out

Todibo has been close to a return from injury for a while but he is still unavailable at this stage.

Lucas Coelho - Doubt

Coelho is unlikely to be risked here, with Potter saying: “With Lucas, we're just monitoring and looking after him. We're hopeful that he can train at the back end of the week as well. Obviously, we'll have to see. He hasn't trained so far this week.”

Jarrod Bowen - Doubt

Potter has said of Bowen: “With Jarrod, we’re more positive. He’s obviously got a few more days to train, but it’s looking hopeful. He’s had more time [to recover].”

Crysencio Summerville - Out

Potter all-but ruled out Summerville, saying: “Summerville is very doubtful and taking a bit longer than we anticipated.”

Niclas Fullkrug - Out

Potter has said of Fullkrug: “It's fair to say it's a significant one. When a player pulls up like that, it's clear it's a significant one and a number of weeks.”

Wesley Fofana - Out

Maresca said of Fofana’s hamstring injury at the time: “With Wes, we don’t know exactly how long he could be out for, but he has a hamstring injury, and unfortunately, we are going to lose him for a while. He could be out for the season, yes.”

Benoit Badiashile - Out

Badiashile won’t return from his hamstring injury until mid-February.

Romeo Lavia - Out

Also with a hamstring issue, Maresca has said the midfielder will be “a few weeks more”.

Mykhailo Mudryk - Out (Suspended)

Mudryk is currently suspended over alleged taking of a banned substance.

Omari Kellyman - Out

Kellyman has missed much of the season with a hamstring injury and will remain out here.
