Chelsea manager Graham Potter will be without no fewer than for the Blues' Premier League West London derby with Fulham on Thursday evening at Craven Cottage.
Already guaranteed to be without Edouard Mendy, Reece James, N'Golo Kante, Wesley Fofana, Ben Chilwell, Ruben Loftus-Cheek and Armando Broja, Chelsea have seen all of Christian Pulisic, Raheem Sterling and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang sustain injuries in the past week.
Pulisic will likely take weeks to recover from the knee issue he suffered in Thursday's loss to Manchester City, while Sterling is nursing a hamstring problem sustained in the same game.
Meanwhile, Aubameyang missed the weekend's FA Cup defeat to City due to back trouble, although the Gabon striker is expected to be back in the squad for the derby.
Kepa Arrizabalaga retains possession in the gloves in the absence of Mendy, while Thiago Silva and Kalidou Koulibaly should keep Benoit Badiashile waiting for his debut at the back.
Cesar Azpilicueta and Marc Cucurella ought to revert to their full-back roles, while Jorginho, Mateo Kovacic and the impressive Denis Zakaria could all start in the engine room for the Blues.
A lack of attacking options should mean nailed-on starts for Kai Havertz, Hakim Ziyech and Mason Mount, although David Datro Fofana could be a wildcard option in the striker's spot.
Chelsea have now confirmed the signing of Joao Felix on loan from Atletico Madrid, but it is unknown if he was registered in time to make his debut here.
Chelsea possible starting lineup: Kepa; Azpilicueta, Koulibaly, Silva, Cucurella; Kovacic, Zakaria, Jorginho; Ziyech, Havertz, Mount body check tags ::
