Chelsea could be without top scorer Cole Palmer against Arsenal on Tuesday due to illness.

The in-form summer signing, scorer of 10 goals in his last five Premier League appearances, missed training on Monday and head coach Mauricio Pochettino admits he is a doubt.

“We will see tomorrow," said Pochettino in his press conference on Monday. "We need to assess tomorrow morning. But today, no. I don’t believe he can be involved.

“Even if he is good tomorrow, maybe he is not in a condition to play. We hope he recovers and he can be involved again with the team as soon as possible."

Chelsea could also be without full-backs Malo Gusto and Ben Chilwell, who are being assessed following the FA Cup semi-final loss to Manchester City on Saturday.

"Malo suffered a minor problem in the ligament of his knee," said Pochettino. "Hopefully it’s not a big issue. With Chilly, after the national team, it's the same problem as the last few weeks."

Christopher Nkunku, Robert Sanchez and Lesley Ugochukwu are in partial team training but unlikely to feature at the Emirates Stadium. Levi Colwill, Reece James, Wesley Fofana and Romeo Lavia remain absent.
