Chelsea Injury News: 7 players will not play against Manchester City
In today's Chelsea injury news, we discuss players who won't be attending the match at the Etihad Stadium between Frank Lampard's team and defending champions Manchester City.
The Blues hope to halt City's title celebrations by winning for just the second time under the 44-year-old manager since his return as interim manager last month.
Lampard confirms seven absences from City's encounter for Chelsea's injured players.
The already-difficult challenge of Chelsea winning at the Etihad has become even more difficult. Mason Mount, Ben Chillwell, Reece James, N'Golo Kante, Marc Cucurella, and Kalidou Koulibaly have all been ruled out, according to Lampard.
Prior to their tantalising confrontation, he spoke at the press conference and said:
Since about a month ago, Mount has been dealing with a pelvis injury, and today will be his sixth straight Premier League game missed. Mount has experienced a sharp decrease in form.
James' season has been marred by injuries, initially with a knee issue and more recently with a hamstring issue, which is currently keeping Chillwell out of action as well.

With just 43 points from 35 games, the Blues sit in 11th place and risk finishing in the bottom half of the standings for the first time since the 1995–96 campaign. Additionally, they haven't triumphed over City since their 1-0 victory in the 2021 Champions League final.
