Chelsea will be without Diego Costa and Eden Hazard when they host rivals West Ham United at Stamford Bridge on Saturday.
The striker is suspended after his red card against Everton in the FA Cup defeat last week, a game Hazard missed because of an ongoing hip problem.
Speaking about Costa, interim manager Guus Hiddink said: "His mood is… he desperately likes to play. He accepts he’s suspended and not happy with that."
Chelsea are without Kurt Zouma for the rest of the season, while Radamel Falcao is back in training but not expected to play.
Loan signing Alexandre Pato is still to make his debut and is available to start in place of Costa, but Hiddink has shown in recent weeks that he views Bertrand Traore and Loic Remy as better options.
Hiddink confirmed in his pre-match press conference that Pato will stay at the club until the end of the season, despite rumours linking the striker with a return to Brazil earlier this week.
