Felix and James star, Jorginho struggles - Chelsea available XI v unavailable XI match simulated

With so many players currently out through injury and suspension, Chelsea could amazingly make an entire XI of unavailable players.

Lewis Hall was the latest player to pick up an injury in Chelsea's 1-0 win over Crystal Palace, extending the list to 12 players. This came just one game after Denis Zakaria limped off whilst Joao Felix picked up a red card in the west London derby defeat to Fulham, with the January signing ruled out for two more games.

It's no secret that the Blues' long list of absentees has played a part in their poor run of form recently, with the win against Palace just Chelsea's second Premier League win in their last 10. But, five signings in the January transfer window - including the £88million signing of Mykhailo Mudryk - could potentially steer the Blues' season back on track.
