Chelsea will have to put their heroics in Naples behind them swiftly as they switch from the Champions League to Premier League action over the weekend. The Blues have impressed in the early weeks of Liam Rosenior, but he believes the challenge of West Ham will be one of the toughest yet.
It's a London derby that could help Chelsea set the pace in the race for European qualification, with the side sitting fifth in the table before the action starts. Just five points separate fourth and 11th in the standings, showing just how tight it is around the top and how key it is for the new head coach to keep picking up the points.
There have been challenges within the squad, especially when it comes to injuries and availability in recent weeks. Cole Palmer has been struggling with an injury throughout the campaign, and while he has returned to fitness, the talisman is still having to have his minutes managed.
On top of that has been injuries for Levi Colwill, Tosin Adarabioyo, Dario Essugo, and Romeo Lavia. So, with that said, here's a look at the latest Chelsea injury news ahead of the West Ham clash.
