Mauricio Pochettino has revealed Chelsea have new injury concerns over Christopher Nkunku after the forward missed their FA Cup tie against Preston.
The French forward was not in the Blues squad for their 4-0 win against the Championship side in the third round.
Pochettino confirmed post-match that an injury problem had led to his absence.
'He wasn't involved because he suffered after training a problem in his hip,' Pochettino said.
'We need to see if he can be ready for the next few games.'
