CHELSEA have provided injury updates on nine players ahead of Sunday’s Premier League clash at Vitality Stadium.
Mauricio Pochettino’s men are looking to bounce back from a shock 1-0 home defeat to Nottingham Forest prior to the international break.
The Blues currently have a lengthy injury list, with the London club providing an update on their absentees.
Both Benoit Badiashile and Armando Broja have returned to full training as part of their “reconditioning phase”.
Reece James, Trevoh Chalobah, Marcus Bettinelli, Carney Chukwuemeka, Christopher Nkunku and Wesley Fofana are yet to return to training as they continue with their “rehabilitation programme”.
Romeo Lavia is also absent, still being assessed after recently picking up an injury.
Chelsea beat Cherries twice last season, including a 3-1 victory at Vitality Stadium in May, the start of the club’s current eight-match winless Premier League run.
