Chelsea suffered a late heartbreak against Manchester City in the FA Cup semi-final at Wembley on Saturday. The Blues stayed firmly in the game until the late stages and arguably had the better chances, but it was Bernardo Silva who scored the decisive goal after excellent work from Jeremy Doku and Kevin De Bruyne.
Nicolas Jackson was guilty of missing chances with Cole Palmer after an early injury, forcing Stephan Ortega into a number of good saves. Although that would have been a huge blow, Chelsea were able to welcome three players, including Enzo Fernandez.
There have been updates in recent days about Reece James returning from injury and that could be necessary as Malo Gusto appears to be taking another blow. With that in mind, football.london has taken a look at Chelsea's latest injury news, with the match against Arsenal just around the corner.
