Mauricio Pochettino says Christopher Nkunku and Malo Gusto will miss the FA Cup clash with Aston Villa on Friday.
The Argentine has said they could feature against Liverpool. We are positive but we will see.
Both players returned to team training this week. The striker is in the final stages of recovering from an injury while the defender is overweight.
Poch added that Ben Chilwell was unlikely to qualify for the start against Villa having just returned from a four-month absence.
He is a key player if he is physically fit and can withstand 90 minutes he must strengthen his fitness. We now have a start tomorrow as we assess him to see if he can play another game. It was a difficult decision. The Blues manager added.
Chelsea face Liverpool in the Premier League on Wednesday 31 January.
