Chelsea could soon be welcoming another new face into their first team set-up as Graham Potter's squad revamp speeds up heading into January. As much as the Blues are already dealing with an unpredictable influx of returning World Cup stars, injuries and possible transfers mean there is a constant fluidity to the make-up of the team.
With just Croatia's Mateo Kovacic and Morocco forward Hakim Ziyech left in Qatar Potter's squad will slowly be taking shape ahead of domestic action kicking off once more in just under two weeks. The Blues' preparation ahead of that match hasn't been ideal though, with Ruben Loftus-Cheek unable to train properly due to injury and other players remaining out of action.
Plus, Armando Broja's first half injury against Aston Villa in the 1-0 friendly loss leaves Kai Havertz and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang as the only two strikers in the squad, and Havertz's best position is still relatively unclear.
