Marc Cucurella, Kalidou Koulibaly: Chelsea injury news and return dates ahead of Bournemouth

Frank Lampard will have a weakened squad this weekend when Chelsea lock horns with Bournemouth. Gary O'Neil's side will welcome the Blues to the Vitality Stadium on Saturday afternoon as the Cherries hope to continue their incredible form.

Bournemouth have won four of their previous five Premier League fixtures and they now seem safe from relegation despite having once looked destined to go down. Chelsea on the other hand have lost each of their last six games, with Lampard left scrambling for solutions.

While the 44-year-old's case hasn't been helped by injuries to key players like Reece James, the west Londoners are yet to show much sign of improvement or tactical nous. With hope of changing fortunes against the Cherries, Lampard confirmed he hasn't been boosted by any injury returns.
