Frank Lampard has revealed that Kalidou Koulibaly will miss Chelsea's clash against Arsenal on Tuesday night but Kai Havertz could return to the matchday squad. The Blues are in desperate need of a win against the Gunners, with Lampard having lost all five of his games in charge after returning to Stamford Bridge as caretaker manager.
Koulibaly has been sidelined with a calf injury since the 2-0 defeat against Real Madrid in the Champions League quarter-final first-leg at the Santiago Bernabeu. Havertz missed the 2-0 loss against Brentford last week but is in contention to play against Mikel Arteta's side at the Emirates Stadium tomorrow night.
Mason Mount and Reece James are expected to miss the remainder of the season, with the former still facing an uncertain future at Chelsea. Marc Cucurella is another absentee for Lampard, with the Spanish defender set to miss 'another two weeks' of action before returning prior to the end of the season.
