Liam Rosenior has ruled out three players ahead of Chelsea's clash against Arsenal. The Blues are set to be without some big names when they face Mikel Arteta's side at the Emirates Stadium on Sunday evening.

Speaking to reporters at Cobham on Friday afternoon, the Blues boss confirmed that Reece James is available for selection. Rosenior also provided promising updates on Romeo Lavia and Dario Essugo, while ruling out Estevao Willian, Jamie Gittens, and Marc Cucurella.

"Reece is absolutely fine," said the 41-year-old. "Romeo is getting stronger and stronger. We had a mini practice match in the week where he looked really good.

"Estevao will be out for a little bit longer and Jamie Gittens is progressing in his rehab. Cucu is not available for Sunday. Dario Essugo is back on the training pitch, too."
