The following injury update has been provided ahead of Chelsea’s Premier League fixture against Sheffield United at Stamford Bridge.
The club can confirm Marc Cucurella, Reece James and Robert Sanchez are set for spells on the sidelines following medical results this week.
All three had to be substituted during Sunday’s fixture against Everton, with captain James withdrawn during the first half before issues forced Cucurella and Sanchez off during the final moments at Goodison Park.
Following initial assessments, Cucurella is now due to meet foot and ankle specialists with next steps to be decided in the coming days.
Meanwhile, goalkeeper Sanchez has undergone assessments on his knee with the club’s medical department and specialists.
The news follows the club's announcement earlier this week regarding captain Reece James, with results confirming a significant hamstring injury for the 24-year-old.
