And Frank Lampard has revealed their top scorer has netted off to Barcelona to help find a swifter cure to his problem.

‘He went to Barcelona to get another set of eyes on it, and has come back relatively positive,’ said Lampard.

‘Unfortunately he’s unwell at the moment, he’s off for a couple of days with a bit of a bug, so no update.’ When asked if he had any idea when he’ll be back, the Blues boss replied: No.’ Meanwhile, Kepa Arrizabalaga is in line to return to t he starting XI after being dropped by Lampard.

The Spaniard has spent a prolonged period on the bench; with Willy Caballero replacing him in goal.

‘Kepa is in the frame. He’s been professional as expected, he’s trained well, kept his head down, supported the team, and the group.

‘I say the same every week, I get asked this every week, he’s been good.’

Lampard also revealed that defender Andreas Christensen is likely to be out too: ‘Christensen has a small issue, (which) probably puts him out for tomorrow.’

There are also no players coming back to join Lampard’s squad: ‘No returns. (Ruben) Loftus-Cheek is playing in the U23s tonight.

‘No Abraham, (N’Golo) Kante or (Christian) Pulisic.’
