Now that the International break is drawing up to a close, Chelsea football club will aim to continue in their good run of form under manager Mauricio Pochettino when they return to Premier League duties this weekend.
Do remember that the Stamford Bridge side won three back-to-back matches against Brighton, Fulham and Burnley respectively and will be keen to continue in such impressive form when the host Arsenal football club.
1. Mykhailo Mudryk
Chelsea football club are set to welcome Arsenal football club to the Stamford Bridge on Saturday without the services of highly-rated winger Mykhailo Mudryk who has picked up an injury while on international duty with Ukraine.
The 22-year-old left-winger suffered a knock during Ukraine's Euro qualifying match against North Macedonia and he was subbed off during the 86th minute of the match.
According to reports from FOOTBALL LONDON, the severity of the knock remains unknown but it could keep the young Mykhaylo Mudryk out of the Premier League clash against Arsenal on Saturday.
2. Romeo Lavia
Another Chelsea first-team player who will definitely miss the Premier League match against Arsenal football club on October 21st is Romeo Lavia.
The 19-year-old Belgium International, who snubbed Liverpool to sign up Chelsea football club last summer is yet to make a single appearance for the Stamford Bridge side since he made the move.
According to reports, Romeo Lavia is not expected to return to the Chelsea first-team squad until late November as he continues his recovery from an ankle injury.
3. Cole Palmer
Chelsea football club could also be without the services of young attacking midfielder Cole Palmer when they host Arsenal football club at the Stamford Bridge on Saturday evening.
The 21-year-old England International suffered a knock while on international duties as he was subbed off and replaced by Tino Livramento during the second-half of England Under-21s' 9-1 victory over Serbia U21.
It was later revealed that Cole Palmer suffered a dead leg during the match, but then, it remains to be seen if the attacking midfielder will recover in time to feature for Chelsea when they battle Arsenal on Saturday.
4. Christopher Nkunku
Also, Christopher Nkunku is set to continue his rehabilitation away from the Chelsea first-team squad after picking up a knee injury during a pre-season friendly against Borussia Dortmund.
Do remember that the 25-year-old France International is yet to play any competitive match for Chelsea football club since he made the move from Bundesliga side RB Leipzig last summer.
Christopher Nkunku is stepping up his rehabilitation program and if everything goes well, the attacking midfielder is expected to return to full fitness in December.
That said, Chelsea manager Mauricio Pochettino will aim towards using the available players to get a good result when they host Mikel Arteta's side on Saturday evening.
