Both Chelsea and Tottenham are in Premier League action this weekend as the two teams meet at Stamford Bridge. Spurs make the short journey for the 5.30pm kick-off on Saturday.

Both teams go into the game having had positive results in their last outings. Chelsea came out as 2-0 winners against Everton, while Spurs picked up their first Premier League win of the season thanks to a 3-1 victory over Coventry City.

Those two games brought both injury blows and boosts for Chelsea and Tottenham. Xabi Alonso and Roberto De Zerbi have now given the latest on how their squads are looking.

With that in mind, here's a look at the latest injury news from both camps.

Chelsea

A fresh addition to the injury list is Emiliano Martinez. The goalkeeper has undergone surgery on a fractured jaw following a head collision with Jarred Branthwaite against Everton.

The Argentine posted an update from his hospital bed earlier in the week, confirming that he'll be back 'in a few weeks'.

Giving the latest in his pre-match press conference, Alonso said: He's doing better. He had the surgery. Day by day, he's feeling better, but we still need to wait.

"Few weeks, few weeks. Hopefully less than more, but we need to wait. The good thing is that he's feeling better. He wants to listen to his feelings, the opinion of the doctors, the specialists, the surgeons. Considering it was a bad one, he's been good."

Martinez will join club captain Reece James on the sidelines, with Chelsea confirming that he has undergone an operation on his knee. The injury is expected to keep him out for around three months.

Winger Jamie Gittens is another player expected to sit out the clash with Spurs, as he continues to recuperate from an ankle injury picked up while representing England Under-21s during the international break.

Xabi Alonso has confirmed that Pep Chavarria won't be back in time for the clash vs Spurs he wad ruled out of the Everton fixture with an injury sustained in training.

Malo Gusto was similarly absent at the Hill Dickinson Stadium due to illness, but Alonso has confirmed that he's back and available.

There are also doubts surrounding summer acquisition Emmanuel Emegha. The Dutchman recently encountered a minor setback upon returning to training and is yet to make his competitive bow for the Blues.

Alonso cast doubts on his availability, saying: "He's feeling better, but we need to wait."

Tottenham

Spurs are set to be without a handful of players for the fixture: Mykhailo Mudryk, Lucas Bergvall and Savio are all anticipated to miss out with knocks.

They will be joined on the sidelines by long-term casualties Xavi Simons and Wilson Odobert, both recuperating from anterior cruciate ligament injuries. Tottenham will also be without Rodrigo Bentancur, who is still serving a ban following his red card against Manchester United.

Roberto De Zerbi has confirmed that Destiny Udogie isn't available having sat out the victory over Coventry as a precautionary measure.

In more positive news for Spurs, Pedro Porro will be available for the fixture. The full-back has been absent from the previous two Premier League matches due to a hamstring problem.

The match against the Sky Blues delivered a significant double injury boost to Spurs, with James Maddison making his first start in over 500 days. Winger Dejan Kulusevski also entered the action as a substitute in his return from a complex knee injury.

De Zerbi has revealed that the duo trained separately from the squad earlier in the week. He hinted that he may not risk them from the start.
