Chelsea will definitely be without goalkeeper Edouard Mendy for the trip to Manchester City in the FA Cup, as the club deal with a mounting injury list.
Mendy has not featured since the World Cup with a shoulder injury, but was nearing a return and may have been under consideration to face City in the cup on Sunday. However, the goalkeeper has now fractured a finger in training, Chelsea have confirmed, and has undergone surgery to rule him out of the trip to the Etihad.
The 30-year-old joins an increasing injury list that was added to by first half issues for Raheem Sterling and Christian Pulisic in Thursday's Premier League defeat to City, while another seven players are doubtful or definitely out.
