Frank Lampard must assess whether he needs to freshen up his Chelsea squad in light of Wednesday’s Champions League win at Ajax for Saturday's Premier League trip to Burnley.
It was hoped that Ross Barkley would return to training in time after suffering a minor ankle problem but N’Golo Kante has not progressed as hoped and is now a doubt to feature at Turf Moor.
Andreas Christensen (hamstring) and Antonio Rudiger (groin) have already been ruled out while the game also comes too soon for longer-term absentee Ruben Loftus-Cheek (Achilles).
Game-changing performances by Michy Batshuayi and Christian Pulisic as substitutes in Amsterdam make them strong candidates to start, especially given Callum Hudson-Odoi endured a rare off night against Ajax.
Pulisic has impressed in a series of cameos now and could do little more in attempting to force his way back into the team.
Emerson Palmieri is fit again following a thigh problem but was left out in midweek in favour of Marcos Alonso.
Chelsea possible (4-3-3): Kepa, Azpilicueta, Zouma, Tomori, Emerson; Kovacic, Jorginho, Mount; Willian, Abraham, Pulisic.
