Mateo Kovacic and Kepa Arrizabalaga were both absent from Chelsea's open training session ahead of their final UEFA Champions League group match against Dinamo Zagreb on Wednesday evening.
Graham Potter and his squad were training at Cobham in an open session on Tuesday morning but they were without Kepa and Kovacic. Kepa limped off at half-time in Saturday afternoon's 4-1 defeat at Brighton & Hove Albion.
Meanwhile, Kovacic has been struggling with a calf problem in recent weeks but he did complete 90 minutes at the Amex Stadium at the weekend. The Croatian wasn't present at Cobham on Tuesday morning, though.

Carney Chukwuemeka was at Cobham but the 19-year-old was doing some individual training as he continues his recovery from training. Chukwuemeka would have been in contention to start against Dinamo Zagreb, with Chelsea already through as Group E winners. The teenager was out doing some work for about 20 minutes before he went back in before the rest of his team-mates.
Potter won't be too concerned to be missing Kepa and Kovacic for their final Champions League match considering it's a dead rubber, but he will be if they aren't fit enough to take on Arsenal at the weekend. The Blues go head-to-head with their London rivals and Premier League leaders on Sunday afternoon in what is set to be a huge match for both teams.
We are set to hear from Potter this afternoon (Tuesday, 3pm UK time) for his pre-match press conference. The Chelsea head coach will be asked about the latest team news and we should hear more on the fitness of Kovacic, Kepa and Chukwuemeka.
