Cole Palmer - Won't be at World Cup Palmer was not included in England's World Cup squad and will now look to end a season heavily disrupted by injuries on a positive note in Sunday's finale against Sunderland.

Impact Palmer's omission from the national team is a notable development for a player who had been one of the most exciting talents in the Premier League before injuries repeatedly interrupted his campaign. The Chelsea playmaker contirbuted 10 goals, three assists, 72 shots and 32 chances created across 32 appearances (28 starts) in all competitions this season, and will be motivated to produce a strong performance against Sunderland as he looks ahead to a fully fit and uninterrupted 2026/27 campaign.

Reece James - Should start finale James is expected to be fine for Sunday's finale against Sunderland. According to interim coach Calum McFarlane, "We had Reece on the bench tonight but, again, coming off the back...

Impact James stayed on the bench Tuesday against Tottenham, but there was no reason to push him too far after going 83 minutes in Saturday's FA Cup final. Given his injury history, multiple starts in a short period is unlikely in the next couple months, depending on how Thomas Tuchel wants to use him during the World Cup. Either way, he seems to be fully fit and ready ahead of the World Cup with 90 minutes a possibility in Sunday's final against Sunderland.

Liam Delap - Shut down Tuesday Delap recorded one shot (zero on goal) in Tuesday's 2-1 victory against Tottenham Hotspur. In addition, he was given a yellow card in the 87th minute.

Impact Delap's poor season continued Tuesday despite making his return to the starting XI. He failed to put a shot on target, making it six Premier League amtches in a row without an attempt on goal. He has scored just one goal across 27 appearances this season, a shocking downfall after he scored 12 last season with Ipswich Town.

Pedro Neto - Assists opener Tuesday Neto assisted once to go with two shots (one on goal), four crosses (one accurate) and one corner in Tuesday's 2-1 victory against Tottenham Hotspur.

Impact Neto set up Enzo Fernandez's opening goal in the 18th minute Tuesday, the lone chance he created in the match. He also recorded a secondary assist on Andrey Santos' goal in the second half, making a clear mark on the rivalry match. He now has 10 goal contributions (five goals and five assists) through 33 Premier League appearances this season. He'll look to end the season strong Sunday at Sunderland.

Enzo Fernandez - Excellent in Tuesday's win Fernandez scored one goal and assisted once from two shots and two chances created in Tuesday's 2-1 win against Tottenham Hotspur.

Impact Fernandez had two moments of brilliance Tuesday and that was enough to hand Chelsea the victory. He scored a long-range goal to open up the scoring in the 18th minute, then provided an impressive assist on Andrey Santos' goal in the 67th minute which doubled the Blues' lead. He now has 14 goal contributions this season, three of which have come in his last two matches. He'll look to end the season strong Sunday at Sunderland.

Robert Sanchez - Concedes once Tuesday Sanchez recorded two saves and allowed one goal in Tuesday's 2-1 victory versus Tottenham Hotspur.

Impact Sanchez conceded one goal Tuesday, a close-range Richarlison strike in the 74th minute. He and the Chelsea defense had a bit of a shaky start to the match, the Spurs attack struggled to break through so Sanchez did not have a whole lot to do. Next up is the season finale Sunday at Sunderland, a side which has scored 40 goals through 37 matches this season.

Malo Gusto - Misses Tottenham match Gusto is out for Tuesday's meeting against Tottenham after suffering an undisclosed blow, Peter Rutzler of Times Sport reports.

Impact Gusto apparently got hurt during training prior to this game after making nine consecutive starts between league and cup action. The full-back's recovery timeline is unclear, but he shouldn't miss a long period if he's only dealing with a knock. His place in the starting lineup has been taken by Josh Acheampong, who will have a rare chance to show his ability.

MAY 19 • ROTOWIRE

Levi Colwill - Rested versus Tottenham Colwill won't play Tuesday against Tottenham because of load management following his recent return from a knee injury, Bobby Vincent of Football London reports.

Impact Colwill started in each of the last two games across all competitions, and the midweek contest came too soon for him to make another appearance given that he previously missed several months with a severe injury. While his workload could continue to be managed carefully, he'll aim to be fit in the short term. Wesley Fofana and Jorrel Hato will likely form the center-back pairing, with Trevoh Chalobah sitting on the bench against the Spurs.

MAY 19 • ROTOWIRE

Joao Pedro - Absent with knock Pedro is not in the match squad for Tuesday's match against Tottenham due to a knock, Bobby Vincent of Football London reports.

Impact Pedro's injury is a late blow to a Chelsea side that has turned to Liam Delap to lead the front line in the midweek clash. Following his surprising exclusion from Brazil's World Cup squad, Pedro may have only one more chance to produce if he recovers ahead of the Premier League finale against Sunderland. He's likely to finish as the team's top scorer in the domestic competition after notching 15 goals over 34 appearances (30 starts).

MAY 19 • ROTOWIRE

Romeo Lavia - Remains out Tuesday Lavia (knock) is not available for Tuesday's game against Tottenham.

Impact Lavia is facing a second straight match on the sidelines following his exclusion from the FA Cup final due to an apparently minor issue. The season is almost over for him, as he's unlikely to get another start in the competition with Moises Caicedo, Andrey Santos and Enzo Fernandez, all of whom should see increased outings until Lavia is fit again.

MAY 19 • ROTOWIRE

Jesse Derry - Makes bench Tuesday Derry (concussion) is on the bench for Tuesday's clash versus Tottenham.

Impact Derry was expected to miss the rest of the season with the serious blow he picked up against Nottingham on May 4, but he's available for the final couple of fixtures. The youngster is unlikely to play a huge role, though the absences of Estevao (hamstring) and Jamie Gittens (hamstring) mean he could see some opportunities in place of wither Pedro Neto or Cole Palmer on the wings.
