Chelsea could be without three first-team players through injury for Thursday's trip to Switzerland to face Servette in the second leg of their Europa Conference League playoff.

The Blues, who beat Servette 2-0 in last week's first leg, will have to cope without captain Reece James and midfielder Romeo Lavia as they continues to recover from hamstring injuries, while Moises Caicedo (knock) is a minor doubt after he was taken off midway through the second half of last weekend's 6-2 Premier League win against Wolves following a strong collision.

Meanwhile, Wesley Fofana, Ben Chilwell and Raheem Sterling are also unavailable for selection as they have all been omitted from Chelsea's Conference League squad. New signing Joao Felix is also ineligible for the second leg, while Enzo Maresca has revealed that Malo Gusto and Pedro Neto will not travel with the squad to Switzerland.

Maresca made nine alterations for the win over Wolves from the side that beat Servette last week and the Italian is expected to ring the changes once again on Thursday, with goalkeeper Filip Jorgensen in line to replace Robert Sanchez between the sticks.

Tosin Adarabioyo and Benoit Badiashile were both handed starts at centre-back in the first leg and could be recalled to start on Thursday, while either Renato Veiga or Marc Cucurella is set to play at left-back as Axel Disasi most likely operates at right-back.

Maresca could select Enzo Fernandez and Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall in centre-midfield if he decides against handing Caicedo a start, while a decision will be made on whether to name star playmaker Cole Palmer in the first XI or have the 22-year-old begin as a substitute.

Noni Madueke scored a superb 14-minute hat-trick against Wolves, with all three goals assisted by Palmer, and he could retain his place on the right flank, while Mykhaylo Mudryk and Christopher Nkunku battle for a start on the left.

Nkunku is also an option to play as a number 10 instead of Palmer, or he could do a job up front if Maresca opts against selecting either Nicolas Jackson or Marc Guiu as his centre-forward.

Chelsea possible starting lineup: Jorgensen; Disasi, Tosin, Badiashile, Cucurella; Fernandez, Dewsbury-Hall; Madueke, Nkunku, Mudryk; Guiu body check tags ::
