Chelsea manager Thomas Tuchel could be without no fewer than four players for Wednesday's Premier League encounter with Leeds United at Elland Road.
The Blues remain without Ben Chilwell and Callum Hudson-Odoi for the long term, while Jorginho is still struggling with an unspecified problem.
N'Golo Kante is unlikely to be risked ahead of the FA Cup final with Liverpool, and some at the club supposedly feel that Marcos Alonso has played his last game for Chelsea after an alleged bust-up with Tuchel.
The Spaniard was taken off at half time in the draw with Wolverhampton Wanderers, and if rumours are to be believed, Malang Sarr could be drafted into the side at Elland Road.
Tuchel may also want to protect Thiago Silva and Cesar Azpilicueta before the trip to Wembley, which could see Andreas Christensen and Trevoh Chalobah join Antonio Rudiger at the back.
Mateo Kovacic and Ruben Loftus-Cheek are unlikely to enjoy rests anytime soon, although the out-of-favour Saul Niguez is an option to freshen things up in the middle.
Mason Mount was an unused substitute at the weekend and should therefore earn some minutes here, while Romelu Lukaku will not want to be dropped after his quickfire brace against Wolves.
Chelsea possible starting lineup: Mendy; Christensen, Chalobah, Rudiger; James, Kovacic, Loftus-Cheek, Sarr; Mount; Werner, Lukaku
