Cole Palmer faces another spell on the sidelines after fracturing his toe in an accident at home.
The Chelsea forward had just returned to training after two months out with a groin injury.
But boss Enzo Maresca has revealed Palmer will miss Saturday’s trip to Burnley, Tuesday’s blockbuster Champions League clash with Barcelona and next weekend’s Premier League tussle with leaders Arsenal.
“He is probably not available for tomorrow for sure, Barcelona for sure or Arsenal for sure,” said Maresca.
“Unfortunately, he had an accident at home where he hit his toe but it is nothing important – but he won’t be back in the next week.”
