Chelsea & Leeds United final injury news as new key men blows leave 6 out and 3 doubts but 'soldier' now back

Final team news has been delivered for Leeds United’s midweek trip to Chelsea.

Final team news has been delivered for Leeds United’s Tuesday night clash at Chelsea - for which blows have left six out and three doubtful but with key men now back.

The huge size of Chelsea’s squad is well documented, giving boss Liam Rosenior plenty of options despite having several players missing for Saturday afternoon’s clash at rock-bottom Wolves where Cole Palmer netted a first-half hat-trick in a 3-1 victory.

Star man Palmer himself has been managing an injury but came through 61 minutes of a fourth-straight league win for the fifth-placed Blues who were dealt a new possible injury blow in the success.

Leeds, meanwhile, welcomed back three players from injuries for Friday night’s hosting of Nottingham Forest in which Daniel Farke’s Whites also recorded a 3-1 success which proved essential in keeping the team six points clear of the dropzone, despite battling against injuries to key men.

Four nights later, the Whites and Blues will lock horns in a huge game at both ends of the table in a 7.30pm kick-off at Stamford Bridge, ahead of which final team news has now been delivered from both camps.]

Whites boss Farke and his opposite Chelsea number Rosenior both held their pre-match press conferences on Monday and, here, we run through the final injury news from both camps.
