Everything you need to know about the latest Chelsea injury news ahead of the clash against Atalanta

  • Liam Delap: The striker was forced off in the draw against Bournemouth, and manager Enzo Maresca described the injury as "quite bad." Early reports suggest he could be sidelined for up to eight weeks, potentially ruling him out until February.
  • Romeo Lavia: He picked up this setback in a Champions League match in November, and the club remains uncertain about when he will be fit to return to the squad.
  • Dario Essugo: The midfielder, who had been out since September with a thigh injury, has been told to "slow down" his training. He is expected to miss the next few matches as a precaution.
  • Cole Palmer: The influential player made his first start since September against Bournemouth after recovering from a groin injury and fractured toe. His return is a significant positive for the Chelsea attack.
  • Levi Colwill: He suffered an anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury shortly after pre-season training began and is not expected to be back until the spring or summer of 2026.
  • Wesley Fofana and Reece James: Both players are still not considered fit enough to play three matches per week consistently. They should, however, be available for selection for the majority of upcoming fixtures.
