Chelsea vs. Leeds United: Feb 10, 2026

Longstaff (calf) remains out for Sunday's clash against Sunderland and aims a return in January, coach Daniel Farke said in the press conference. "No, no chance for Sean."

Nmecha (hamstring) has a small chance to be back available for Sunday's clash against Sunderland, coach Daniel Farke said in the press conference. "It is a small chance for Lukas to be involved, so there is some progress. I hope I have him at some point during this week, also back in team training. If he comes through the sessions, then he could definitely be a topic for the squad and he could travel with us."

Delap (shoulder) is back available for Saturday's clash against Aston Villa, coach Enzo Maresca said in the press conference. "Also Liam. He is back. We didn't know exactly how long Liam would be out for but he is back on Saturday, and we are happy to have both available."

Palmer is now fit to feature 90 minutes for Chelsea, coach Enzo Maresca said in the press conference. "I think Cole is ready to play 90 minutes, yes. He played for an hour against Everton, then he did more than 70 minutes against Newcastle. So I think the progression is there, he's feeling good and I think he could play for 90 minutes now.
