Chelsea have suffered another huge blow in their bid to earn a Champions League spot for next season after Jorginho picked up a two-game suspension.

The Italian midfielder, 28, picked up his tenth booking of the season in the Premier League in the first-half of Saturday's game against Bournemouth.

That means Jorginho will miss the next TWO Premier League games against Everton and Aston Villa.

The Blues star is able to play against Liverpool in the FA Cup on Tuesday night.

However, Jorginho is also ruled out of the Champions League last-16 second-leg against Bayern Munich - with Chelsea trailing 3-0 - after racking up the cards in Europe too.

Frank Lampard's side are teetering on the brink of being dumped out of Europe after their first-leg humiliation against the German giants.

That means Chelsea's only hope of breaking back into the Champions League next season relies solely on their league form.
