Chelsea manager, Xabi Alonso, has confirmed that at least four players in his squad will miss Saturday’s Premier League clash against Hull City.
The Blues suffered their first defeat of the season at Arsenal last weekend.
Alonso’s men will now be looking to bounce back against the Tigers, who are the only team yet to concede a goal this season.
But they will be without the quartet of Moises Caicedo, Marco Palestra, Jordan Henderson and Emmanue Emegha.
“Not yet,” Alonso said on Caicedo. “We’ll see for Brentford. We’re not at a moment to take risks with him.”
Henderson and Emegha also remain sidelined while they recover from their respective injury problems.
“Not tomorrow,” Alonso said on the duo. “We hope they can be for Brentford, but we’ll see.”
