The 29-year-old did not make the matchday squad for the London derby, which the Blues won 3-0 to move joint top of the table
Chelsea manager Thomas Tuchel has refused to confirm whether goalkeeper Edouard Mendy will be available for the team’s next match against Aston Villa.
The Senegal custodian, who has enjoyed a good start to life at Stamford Bridge since signing from Ligue 1 side Rennes, was left out as Chelsea cruised to a comfortable 3-0 win against rivals Tottenham Hotspur in a London derby on Sunday.
Mendy was reportedly dropped from the matchday squad because of a hip injury that he picked up during Chelsea's 1-0 win against Zenit in the Champions League last week.
