Chelsea vs Brighton Team News
Chelsea are sweating on the fitness of no less than eight players before their match this coming Sunday. Marc Cucurella and Reece James can't be called up by the Chelsea-manager, with both serving a ban.
Due to various ailments Malo Gusto, Ben Chilwell, Romeo Lavia, Carney Chukwuemeka, Trevoh Chalobah, Christopher Nkunku, Wesley Fofana and Marcus Bettinelli will be absent from the squad, Chelsea are able to field against Brighton on Sunday.
More than a handful of players could be forced out of the next match for Brighton, who are looking at seven players nursing various problems. Lewis Dunk and Mahmoud Dahoud racked up too many penalty points and won't be in the Brighton travelling party for their next match.
Names like Tariq Lamptey, Ansu Fati, Adam Webster, Pervis Estupinan, Danny Welbeck, Solly March and Julio Enciso most likely won't be deemed fit enough to play Chelsea.
