Chelsea injury update: Emi Martinez, Pep Chavarria, Malo Gusto latest news and return dates

Chelsea's injury list is growing with Reece James out for months after knee surgery; Emi Martinez, Pep Chavarria and Malo Gusto also sidelined.

Chelsea face mounting injury concerns following their 2-0 win over Everton. Captain Reece James will miss several months after undergoing knee surgery. Goalkeeper Emi Martinez was injured in the Everton match after a collision while attempting to punch clear a free-kick, while defenders Pep Chavarria and Malo Gusto have also dropped out of the squad. The Blues are already without Jamie Gittens and Emmanuel Emegha, though recent returns for Joao Pedro, Cole Palmer, Moises Caicedo and Marco Palestra had reduced the injury burden.
