Chelsea Team News
The Blues had a number of players miss international duty with the team currently unsure of who will and won’t be available for Bournemouth. All of Moises Caicedo, Cole Palmer, Reece James, Marco Palestra, and Joao Pedro were unavailable for their nations due to a variety of problems.
The latest from the manager following his press conference is that all five have at least returned to training. That leaves the longer-term problem to Emmanuel Emegha and the international break casualty Jamie Gittens on the sidelines.
Bournemouth Team News
Per PremierInjuries, the Cherries are rocking up to this one in pieces rather than bunches. Their injury woes only got worse over the break when Alex Scott left the England camp just after the 7-0 win over Croatia.
He joins an already bloated list including Eli Kroupi, Julian Araujo, Justin Kluivert, Veljko Milosavljevic, and Amine Adil. David Brooks is back in training in one notable positive.

The Last Word
The Blues got the luck of the bounce with injuries as a number of their top names are back after the break. Their opponents have not been so lucky, the issues that have seen Marco Rose sit in the relegation zone after five matches are still going to be present, particularly with star midfielder Scott missing out. If Chelsea fail to get a win here, big questions could be raised of them and their manager as there may be no better time to play the Cherries than right now as they try to string together a lineup.
