Régis Le Bris confirms Sunderland team news latest ahead of Chelsea clash
Le Bris said Nordi Mukiele should be available, while Omar Alderete is suspended and Chelsea face late fitness checks on Moises Caicedo and Emi Martinez.
- Chelsea visits Sunderland on Sunday November 8, 2026, at the Stadium of Light, with manager Xabi Alonso assessing fitness for key players Emi Martinez and Moises Caicedo before finalizing his lineup.
- Emi Martinez returned to training this week wearing a protective mask, leaving Alonso to decide between reinstating his No1 or retaining Mike Penders following Martinez's fractured jaw last month.
- Midfielder Moises Caicedo faces a late fitness test due to 'discomfort' following the win over Manchester United, while Joao Pedro and Maxence Lacroix remain sidelined with long-term injuries.
- Sunderland defender Nordi Mukiele is available after concussion protocols, though Omar Alderete is suspended following a red card against Coventry City last weekend.
- Final decisions on the starting XI will follow Saturday's training session, which serves as a critical guideline for evaluating Martinez and Caicedo's recovery before Sunday's kick-off.
