Liam Rosenior says Cole Palmer and Reece James will train ahead of the game against Brentford with the hope of being involved in the west London derby clash.
Both missed the Blues’ 3-2 Carabao Cup semi-final defeat to Arsenal on Wednesday due to fitness issues.
But both are set to train ahead of the game against Brentford with Rosenior hoping they will be fit enough to be involved.
Rosenior is unsure on whether Liam Delap or Jamie Gittens will play a part, however, with both still at home recovering from illness.
Meanwhile, midfielder Romeo Lavia is still not ready to return having not featured since November.
The Belgian is yet to return to team training, instead doing individual work.
