Chelsea

A Europa League showdown for me today. Sunderland without Brobbey (and Isidor) so Tymur Tutierov leads the line, his first PL start. He was at League One Exeter on loan last term. Rose brings in Cook for Brooks after Chelsea defeat last week. Blog here: https://t.co/LqlQD9QeMW

Chelsea issue an update on Martinez, after he was taken to hospital during the second half against Everton: "Goalkeeper Emiliano Martinez has undergone successful surgery on a fractured jaw...Everyone at Chelsea wishes Emi a speedy recovery and will support him throughout."

33 hours of PL football without one of these before today. First away league clean sheet in 11 months too. A big milestone (especially in the circumstances)

In the absence of James, Alonso will need to rely on sustaining the Henderson- Caicedo double but he also said that, at times, he may want to play with three midfielders. "Sometimes we will need a third for a different approach to the game." https://t.co/L85DM8yvTz

Emegha is out -- "He’s not yet (available). He felt something yesterday, a little thing. He will train next week. He’s still not 100 percent fit to play."

Alonso says there are no other injury updates.

Asked if the injury changes transfer plans: "No I don’t think so. We expect he will be back (around the time of the January transfer window)".

Xabi Alonso on Reece James: "We are all disappointed, especially for him. He wanted to have a good start after the international break. "We don't set timelines but he will be out for several weeks. It won't be short. We will see after Christmas, time will tell."

Rose on possibly selling Scott in January: "We just closed one transfer window and now we're talking about the next one. If you see Alex Scott, his games playing with Bournemouth, he's totally committed. I don't want to comment. You said many times, 'if, if, if'. If he's back, he's playing for Bournemouth.*

Marco Rose said Alex Scott could return to fitness sooner than expected: "We did an MRI (Wednesday) and his progression, his healing, is better than we expected... We are quite confident that we get him back maybe a little bit earlier."

Chelsea confirm that Reece James has had successful minor knee surgery after suffering the injury in training last week.

A first home European fixture and a first home European win. A historic night for Bournemouth: https://t.co/p1gBxC3HRK

Marco Rose says it was a "privilege" to be involved in this game, which he hopes will offer a platform for more consistency. On Adam Smith: "You saw he is our captain. He said some words after Chelsea. The way he acted today, to be with a club such a long time, to make this journey, he should enjoy this night. He's allowed to have one beer"

Adam Smith, who joined Bournemouth at first in 2010 in League One, before returning permanently in 2014, has just set up the club's first ever home European goal. A whipped cross to Evanilson, whose looping header from 12 yards finds the net. 1-0
