Graham Potter's injury list was added to at the weekend following confirmation that defender Kalidou Koulibaly had picked up a knock in the draw with Brentford.
The west Londoners already have a growing injury list amid a congested fixture schedule, all while the race for top-four heats up. After drawing 1-1 with Manchester United, Chelsea ended the weekend outside the Premier League top four after Newcastle United's 2-1 win at Tottenham.
Potter's side do have a game in hand against the Magpies and Spurs, with three league games remaining until the mid-season break for the World Cup. However, it's back to Champions League football tomorrow evening with a trip to Austria to face RB Salzburg.
