Enzo Fernandez has also been struck down with illness, having come off early against Newcastle in the Carabao Cup in midweek. As a result, Lesley Ogochukwu and Conor Gallagher are in, with Cole Palmer ahead of them. Chelsea will hope the key duo are back for Wednesday's home clash against Crystal Palace.

Romeo Lavia has been included in a Chelsea matchday squad for the first time since making his £58 million ($74m) move from Southampton in the summer. He could come on to make his Blues debut at Molineux, with Pochettino's side facing a busy period over the festive season.

Chelsea will be keeping everything crossed that both Caicedo and Enzo are fit for their next game, a Premier League clash against Crystal Palace on December 27. Lavia might also start that match, with Chelsea's expensively-assembled midfield trio yet to play together.
