Chelsea play host to West Ham United on Saturday afternoon looking to return to winning ways in the Premier League.
Despite giving a good account of themselves against Manchester City last weekend, the Blues eventually succumbed to a 2-1 defeat at the Etihad Stadium.
That disappointment was followed up by a 2-2 draw away at Valencia in the Champions League, with that game concluding less than 72 hours before kickoff against the Hammers at Stamford Bridge.
Here, Sports Mole rounds up the latest injury and suspension news for the West Londoners ahead of the derby clash in the capital.
Status: Major doubt
Type of injury: Pelvis
Possible return date: December 4 (vs. Aston Villa)
Despite having undergone groin surgery earlier this month, Rudiger has already returned to training. While an appearance at the weekend appears unlikely, the Germany international could be involved next week.
Status: Out
Type of injury: Achilles
Possible return date: Unknown
Sidelined since May, Loftus-Cheek continues to work towards full fitness, with the midfielder hoping to make his return at some point during December.
Status: Major doubt
Type of injury: Ankle
Possible return date: Unknown
While Barkley had been expected to return to the squad this week, Lampard has revealed that the playmaker is still experiencing pain in his ankle. With that in mind, the Englishman is unlikely to play this weekend.
Status: Major doubt
Type of injury: Hip
Possible return date: December 4 (vs. Aston Villa)
Abraham needed to be substituted during the first half against Valencia after sustaining a hip injury. Despite both the striker and Lampard suggesting that the issue is not as bad as first feared, the England international may not be risked against West Ham.
Status: Major doubt
Type of injury: Hamstring
Possible return date: November 30 (vs. West Ham)
After returning from international duty with a hamstring problem, Hudson-Odoi has missed the last two club fixtures. At best, the academy graduate will be named on the substitutes' bench at the weekend, although Lampard may decide to keep the youngster in reserve for next week.
CHELSEA'S SUSPENSION LIST
Chelsea have no players who are suspended ahead of this fixture.
