Chelsea are now preparing for their next Premier League outing after a momentary reprieve in the form of the FA Cup semi-final. <\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The Blues defeated Leeds United at Wembley Stadium, but they have work to do in the Premier League after falling out of the top seven.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
They now face Nottingham Forest on Monday night, with the East Midlands side on the brink of safety after a couple of big wins, but they undoubtedly still need a point or two, so Chelsea can expect to come up against a very motivated Forest side here.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
As attention turns to Monday night, we have rounded up all the latest injury news surrounding both sides.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Nottingham Forest Injuries<\/h2>\n
<\/p>\n
Callum Hudson-Odoi – Out<\/h2>\n
<\/p>\n
Hudson-Odoi is going to be out for the season after undergoing surgery on a thigh issue. Vitor Pereira has said: “He is OK after the surgery. He is an important player for us, but the most important thing is for him to fully recover and come back at the level he used to have.”<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
John Victor – Out<\/h2>\n
<\/p>\n
Victor is out for the season after picking up a knee issue back in January.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Nicolo Savona – Out<\/h2>\n
<\/p>\n
Savona looks to be out for the season with a knee issue.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Murillo – Out<\/h2>\n
<\/p>\n
Murillo is out and we don’t know when he will return. Pereira said last week: “He is out… We will see (how long). It is a muscle injury. I’m not a doctor, I cannot predict, but he will be out tomorrow. I think it will be more than one game.”<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Jair Cunha – Doubt<\/h2>\n
<\/p>\n
Cunha is a doubt after picking up a shoulder issue. Pereira has said: “We will see… I am concerned about this because if we lose players in the same position at this time, it is a big problem. I hope. We will see. I am not a doctor, so we will see.”<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Ibrahima Sangare – Doubt<\/h2>\n
<\/p>\n
Sangare has picked up a knock and will be assessed ahead of this one.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Willy Boly – Out<\/h2>\n
<\/p>\n
Boly is likely to be out for the season after picking up an injury back in February.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Chelsea Injuries<\/h2>\n
<\/p>\n
Estevao Willian – Out<\/h2>\n
<\/p>\n
We now know Estevao is going to be out for the season. McFarlane has said: : “Estevao, unfortunately, won\u2019t play for us this season. He will be out for a little bit of time. We\u2019re not sure how long, but he certainly won\u2019t play for us again this season…”<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Levi Colwill – Out<\/h2>\n
<\/p>\n
Colwill is getting closer, but he is not there yet. Rosenior said last week: “Very hopeful that we\u2019ll see him before the end of the season. He played for the U21s, and while it was a very low-level game, getting 60 mins was a really good start for him. We want him to be involved in the next (U21s) game, and build him up because it’s been a really bad injury that he’s come back from.”<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Jamie Bynoe-Gittens – Out<\/h2>\n
<\/p>\n
Gittens picked up a hamstring injury in training at the start of this month and will be out until early to mid May.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Filip Jorgensen – Out<\/h2>\n
<\/p>\n
Jorgensen required a small procedure on his groin last month and will return at a similar time to Gittens.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Reece James – Out<\/h2>\n
<\/p>\n
James is targeting an early May return from his thigh issue, but this one will come too soon.<\/p>\n
