Chelsea striker Alvaro Morata is set to return from a hamstring injury as the Blues look to maintain their 100% start to the Champions League against Roma.
The Spaniard, who sustained the injury while playing against Manchester City last month, missed Saturday’s 2-1 defeat at Crystal Palace.
Wing-back Victor Moses has not trained since being substituted at Selhurst Park with a hamstring injury.
Midfielders N’Golo Kante (hamstring) and Danny Drinkwater (calf) are out.
“I could take a risk on Saturday to force Morata to play against Crystal Palace, but I’m not so stupid,” Blues manager Antonio Conte said.
“I’m not taking a risk if I decide for Morata to play against Roma.”
After wins against Qarabag and Atletico Madrid, Chelsea are aiming to extend their perfect record in Group C against second-placed Roma at Stamford Bridge.
The Italians are two points behind Conte’s side after a goalless draw at home to Atletico and a 2-1 victory at Qarabag.
Roma welcome back Strootman and El Shaarawy
Netherlands midfielder Kevin Strootman and Italy attacker Stephan El Shaarawy are both available after missing the weekend defeat against Napoli.
Roma had won their previous five matches in all competitions before Saturday’s 1-0 loss at the unbeaten Serie A leaders.
The Giallorossi have finished in the top three of Serie A in each of the past four seasons, but have struggled to make an impression in the Champions League.
They have only progressed from the group stage once in the past three seasons, reaching the last 16 in 2015-16 where they lost to Real Madrid.
