Palmer, Broja, Jackson, Nkunku - Latest Chelsea injury news and return dates for Arsenal

Mauricio Pochettino is working with a larger group than he would normally expect during the international break as Chelsea prepare to take on one of the Premier League's two remaining unbeaten sides next week. The boss has struggled to get a group of players even close to his best XI out available so far but is nearing several big boosts.

The international break has left him with Raheem Sterling, Rob Sanchez and soon-to-be two more of his first-team squad as well as a group already left out due to form and fitness in recent times. It is both a blessing and a curse for the Argentine as he plans for the biggest test of the season.

There is always one eye on the ongoing fixtures across the world with the hope that key figures will return in good shape, allowing time for others to build up sharpness and continue recovery, however it also puts a stop to the positive moment in the group after three wins in a row.

With one week to go until Chelsea host Arsenal at Stamford Bridge, here's the latest injury news.

The Albanian striker was called up for his country after making his first three appearances following nine months out with a knee injury. His first start came last week against Fulham and was followed with 45 minutes more away to Burnley.

Broja has since left his country's camp though with manager Sylvinho handing a worry to Pochettino after Broja's progress was managed so carefully.
