A convincing 3-0 win over Leeds United has taken the weight off from Thomas Tuchel's shoulders amid the race for Champions League qualification. Chelsea waltzed past Jesse Marsch's side at Elland road, with goals from Mason Mount, Christian Pulisic and Romelu Lukaku to secure a crucial three points.
The Blues are yet to confirm their place in next season's Champions League, however, so will be showing no sympathy to their opponents either. But, in the meantime, Next up, Chelsea face Liverpool at Wembley in the FA Cup final and a handful of key players look set to miss the heavyweight bout.
With that in mind, football.london takes a look at the latest injury news from Stamford Bridge.

Mateo Kovacic
Chelsea head coach Thomas Tuchel will now be sweating over the fitness of Mateo Kovacic ahead of Saturday's FA Cup final with Liverpool. The Croatian midfielder limped off in the first half of the Blues' clash with Leeds United on Wednesday night.
Kovacic, who started alongside Jorginho in the centre of Chelsea's midfield, was taken off early after being on the end of a horror tackle from Daniel James. The Leeds forward was shown a straight red card with a high challenge on Kovacic.
This is the last thing Tuchel would have wanted ahead of what is set to be Chelsea's biggest match of the season at Wembley. The midfielder could then be seen with his left ankle in heavy strapping when walking down the tunnel to receive more treatment on the problem.
Possible return date: Unknown
Marcos Alonso
There were a few concerns that the left-back may have been carrying an injury when he was withdrawn just after half-time during Saturday's clash. But Tuchel confirmed in his post-match press conference that the decision was tactical.
It has emerged since that the reason for the substitution was a disagreement between Alonso and Tuchel, but that it has now been put to bed.
Possible return date: Leeds United (A) -Wednesday, May 11
N'Golo Kante and Jorginho
Chelsea have been without two of their star midfielders in recent games and it is likely no coincidence that their form has dipped with their absence. However, it remains touch and go whether or not the pair will be fit for the trip to Elland Road.
What Thomas Tuchel said:"We are fighting for Jorgi and N'Golo. It will be close and I don't know if we will make it."
Possible return date: Leeds United (A) -Wednesday, May 11
Callum Hudson-Odoi
The winger has been sidelined with injury for weeks now and there is a chance he may play no further part in the rest of the campaign - although the hope remains that he will return and possibly be in contention for the FA Cup final on Saturday. But there has been little in the way of hints as to when he could come back.
Expected return date: Unknown
Ben Chilwell
After rupturing his cruciate ligament against Juventus, Chilwell was ruled out for the rest of the season and will play no further part in the run-in. It has caused problems in Tuchel's side, with Alonso having to fill in constantly.
Expected return date: Next season.
