Jorginho and David Luiz are expected to return to Chelsea’s starting line-up for Saturday’s visit of Premier League leaders Manchester City.
Blues boss Maurizio Sarri reported no serious injuries ahead of the clash and is expected to restore his first-choice line-up after Wednesday’s loss at Wolves, a second defeat in three league games.
Mateo Kovacic could start in midfield and Olivier Giroud could come in up front.
Provisional squad: Kepa, Caballero, Rudiger, Alonso, Fabregas, Jorginho, Kante, Barkley, Hazard, Pedro, Kovacic, Giroud, Zappacosta, Willian, Cahill, Christensen, Azpilicueta, Morata, Luiz, Emerson Palmieri, Loftus-Cheek, Hudson-Odoi, Ampadu, Bulka.
Manchester City pair Sergio Aguero and Kevin De Bruyne have been ruled out.
Striker Aguero is again not being risked due to a muscular problem while the game comes too early for playmaker De Bruyne (knee) after more than a month out.
Left-back Benjamin Mendy (knee) and goalkeeper Claudio Bravo (Achilles) remain on the long-term casualty list.
Provsional squad: Ederson, Muric, Walker, Danilo, Stones, Otamendi, Laporte, Kompany, Delph, Zinchenko, Gundogan, Fernandinho, Sane, Sterling, B Silva, D Silva, Mahrez, Foden, Diaz, Jesus.
