Chelsea could hand a few institute players opportunities to hit one out of the ballpark against Brentford in the Carabao Cup on Wednesday.
The Blues' crew has been hit hard by a flare-up of Covid-19, while wounds are affecting them as well.
Chelsea had the option to name only four outfield players on the seat against Wolves on Sunday and Thomas Tuchel has affirmed just Jorginho, who had a bogus positive test, is back in conflict.
Trevoh Chalobah, who went off with a physical issue against Wolves, is an uncertainty, while Andreas Christensen is sidelined as well.
Tuchel has affirmed N'Golo Kante won't be gambled following his return from a knee injury and is Mateo Kovacic is likewise far-fetched to include.
Lewis Baker was expected to be remembered for the crew yet he has now tried positive for Covid-19.
Other institute players, like Xavier Mbuyamba and Xavier Simons, could in any case include however, either from the beginning or off the seat.
Tuchel said on Tuesday: 'We made them come for two instructional meetings however at that point we identified that Lewis Baker is positive for Covid. One more player out. This is another danger. We mix a few crews and presently we have another positive."
On Kante, Tuchel said: "How we managed N'Golo Kante for an hour and a half [against Wolves] was near flippant.
"Will he be involved against Brentford? Just no. We can't do this and I won't do it. 'We will presently give him an opportunity to recuperate and plan for Aston Villa and this is what is going on.'
Chelsea anticipated XI (3-4-3): Arrizabalaga; Mbuyamba, Rudiger, Sarr; James, Jorginho, Saul, Alonso; Barkley, Ziyech, Pulisic.
