Latest Chelsea injury news with 11 missing Everton with Ben Chilwell boost and double concern

Chelsea could be without 11 players for tonight's Premier League clash with Everton at Stamford Bridge. The Blues have suffered with injury problems for the entirety of the season and that pattern is showing no signs

Mauricio Pochettino welcomes Sean Dyche's men to west London looking to deepen their relegation fears while strengthening his own hopes of a European finish.

However, Chelsea will be without a number of key players meaning Pochettino will have to use his squad if they are to earn a first victory over Everton at Stamford Bridge since the start of 2021.

There will be late hopes that Enzo Fernandes and Axel Disasi will be deemed fit enough to play some part tonight. The duo were added to the club's injury update release last week due to knocks.

Speaking in his pre-match press conference on Friday, Pochettino admitted he was unsure if they would feature on Monday. "We'll see. They are under assessment," he said. "They have different types of issues. We don't believe they are big issues but we will see if they can be available.

Raheem Sterling is out, however, due to illness alongside goalkeeper Robert Sanchez. Despite facing being without three of his regular starters, Pochettino is set to welcome Ben Chilwell back to action.

The left-back had missed the last two games due to illness but the update claimed he was back in 'partial team training'. "Chilly is training, partial training today with the team, and see if he can be involved with the squad, on the bench for Monday," Pochettino added.

"It's good news, but it's true what you say, he has not played too much this season."

Christopher Nkunku (hamstring), Levi Colwill (toe), Romeo Lavia (thigh), Reece James (hamstring), Lesley Ugochukwu (hamstring) and Wesley Fofana(knee) all remain out and continue 'to undergo' their rehabilitation programmes.
