Eden Hazard could return to the starting line-up but Cesc Fabregas is out of Chelsea’s Premier League clash with his former club Arsenal on Saturday.
Fabregas’ minor knee injury could present a chance for Mateo Kovacic, on loan from Real Madrid, to make his debut.
Belgium ace Hazard, who was given an extended break after the World Cup, came on as a substitute against Huddersfield last weekend.
Provisional squad: Kepa, Caballero, Rudiger, Alonso, Jorginho, Drinkwater, Kante, Barkley, Hazard, Pedro, Moses, Kovacic, Giroud, Zappacosta, Willian, Cahill, Christensen, Azpilicueta, Morata, Luiz, Emerson Palmieri, Ampadu, Loftus-Cheek, Hudson-Odoi.
Arsenal will be without Ainsley Maitland-Niles for the derby.
The England Under-21 international suffered a small fracture to his leg in last weekend’s defeat to Manchester City and faces up to two months out.
Maitland-Niles played at left-back in that loss and is likely to be replaced by fit-again Nacho Monreal, with Danny Welbeck also back in training but Sead Kolasinac (knee), Laurent Koscienly (Achilles) and Carl Jenkinson (ankle) are absent.
Provisional squad: Cech, Leno, Bellerin, Lichtsteiner, Holding, Mustafi, Mavropanos, Papastathopoulos, Monreal, Nelson, Xhaka, Elneny, Torreira, Guendouzi, Ramsey, Iwobi, Mkhitaryan, Ozil, Welbeck, Lacazette, Aubameyang.
