The bad news keeps on coming for Frank Lampard and Chelsea. As well as continuing to falter in the league they will now be without two of their key players for the rest of the season.
Both Mason Mount and Reece James are sidelined for what is likely to be the remaining six games, a run of matches which includes facing all of the current top four. Having not won in five games heading into the away trip to Arsenal on Tuesday it is already a daunting task.
The Gunners are a wounded animal and even a full strength Chelsea would be up against it to get much luck out of the match. Two of Lampard's most important players first time round will have to watch on, though. "Reece James is unavailable, probably for the season," Lampard said ahead of facing Brentford.
