Chelsea could face Bournemouth without only one player, Jamie Gittens, who will be out for several weeks due to an ankle injury sustained while playing for England's Under-21 team. The article details that five players previously expected to miss the match are now fit: Cole Palmer, Joao Pedro, Reece James, Moises Caicedo, and Marco Palestra. For Bournemouth, Eli Junior Kroupi remains sidelined with a foot injury, Julian Araujo and Julian Kluivert are out due to thigh injuries, Amine Adli is a doubt because of a calf problem, and Veljko Milosavljevic is also absent with a muscular injury. David Brooks could be available after sitting out international duty.

Story summary
Chelsea could face several absentees when they play against Bournemouth in an upcoming match.

However, midfielder Jamie Gittens, who impressed in his England debut against Croatia, sustained a muscle injury during the match and will miss at least four weeks of play. Additionally, Cherries’ head coach Marco Rose expressed disappointment over the loss of an important player for up to five weeks due to a similar injury.
