The upcoming clash between Chelsea and West Ham United at the London Stadium has sparked anticipation, with Chelsea aiming to secure back-to-back victories in the Premier League. After being held to a 1-1 draw by Crystal Palace, Chelsea bounced back with a 1-0 win over Bournemouth in their last outing. Enzo Maresca’s side currently sits in eighth place in the Premier League table, with seven points from their first four matches of the 2024-25 campaign.
Looking ahead to the match, Chelsea’s injury and suspension news is a topic of discussion. Club captain James has been sidelined with a hamstring issue that has plagued him leading up to the current season. His return date remains uncertain, leaving a gap in the team’s lineup.
As the team prepares for the upcoming fixture, Romeo Lavia and Malo Gusto are also facing injury concerns. Lavia is listed as a minor doubt with a hamstring injury, with a possible return date set for September 21 against West Ham. On the other hand, Gusto, who missed the Bournemouth match due to a thigh problem, has returned to training and is expected to be available for selection against the Hammers.
With both teams eager to secure a positive result, the clash at the London Stadium promises to be an exciting encounter. Stay tuned for updates as the teams finalize their preparations for the match.
