Chelsea vs Leeds United injury news as eight ruled out and five doubtful

Leeds United have a chance to make it two wins on the spin as they take on an out of form Chelsea at Stamford Bridge this weekend. They beat Southampton 1-0 in their last Premier League fixture last Saturday with left wing-back Junior Firpo scoring the winner.

Javi Gracia’s side are currently outside the relegation zone. Here is a look at the latest injury news regarding both the Whites and their opponents...

Pascal Struijk, Liam Cooper, Max Wober and Luis Sinisterra are all doubts as well. The quartet will have to be assessed ahead of the trip down to London. The Whites were down in the capital on Tuesday night in the FA Cup but were knocked out after losing 2-0 to Fulham at Craven Cottage.

As for Chelsea, N’Golo Kante, Christian Pulisic and Armando Broja remain in the treatment room. Experienced full-back Cesar Azpilicueta is still recovering from a head injury and will sit out again as the club follows the correct protocol.
