Reece James, Levi Colwill, Christopher Nkunku, Lesley Ugochukwu, Wesley Fofana and Romeo Lavia remain out.

Chilwell is absent for Chelsea after picking up a knock in the 2-2 draw with Belgium while on England duty.

The latest batch of bad news came 24 hours after Chelsea announced £53million signing Romeo Lavia is out for the season, despite making just one 32-minute appearance.

It leaves Mauricio Pochettino with limited options in his starting XI for the visit of Vincent Kompany’s relegation strugglers.

Djorjde Petrovic continues as the goalkeeper in front of a back four of Malo Gusto, Axel Disasi, Benoit Badiashile and Marc Cucurella. Thiago Silva does not make his first appearance under Pochettino since early February.

Moises Caicedo and Conor Gallagher partner each other in the base of midfield. Enzo Fernandez only returned from international duty on Thursday evening, but gets the nod in midfield.

Sterling is among the substitutes, with Mykhailo Mudryk and Nicolas Jackson alongside Cole Palmer in the front three.

Chelsea XI: Petrovic, Gusto, Disasi, Badiashile, Cucurella, Caicedo, Fernandez, Palmer, Gallagher, Mudryk, Jackson

Subs: Silva, Sterling, Madueke, Bettinelli, Casadei, Washington, Gilchrist, Tauriainen, Acheampong

Date and time: 3pm GMT on Saturday, March 30, 2024

Venue: Stamford Bridge
