Liam Rosenior has provided an injury update ahead of Chelsea's clash against Arsenal. The Blues will lock horns with Mikel Arteta's side in the first leg of the Carabao Cup semi-final at Stamford Bridge on Wednesday night.
Malo Gusto, Reece James and Cole Palmer were not part of the travelling squad when the Blues beat Charlton Athletic at The Valley on Saturday evening. After the game, Rosenior confirmed the trio picked up slight knocks during the defeat to Fulham a few days prior.
Speaking to reporters at Cobham on Monday afternoon, the Chelsea boss claimed that the trio will undergo a late fitness test. Rosenior also pointed out that Moises Caicedo will miss the game due to suspension.
The 24-year-old midfielder was shown his second yellow card of the campaign during the Blues' win over Cardiff City in the quarter-final. Rosenior said: "Moi is suspended.
"We've had no injury problems coming out of Charlton. I will make a decision on Cole, Malo and Reece tomorrow or on the morning of Wednesday."
On whether the game will be the biggest of his career, Rosenior said: "People will look at it that way but I don't see it like that. I live in the now: it's the most important game because it's the next one.
"I mean that. I'm happy with the process in which we work as a staff and the players are taking it on. That's how I see it."
