Chelsea will be without Moises Caicedo when they take on Hull City at Stamford Bridge this afternoon.
The Ecuador international is still to start a game for the Blues this season due to an injury picked up in the days before the opening game against Fulham.
Caicedo made the bench against Brighton and was called upon in the second-half against his former club.
Just 14 minutes later however he was forced off having aggravated the injury, missing last weekend’s showdown with Arsenal as a result.

Chelsea XI to face Hull – Metro prediction
Romeo Lavia has started the season impressively but Caicedo’s absence has left him without a regular partner in midfield. Reece James is likely to continue in that midfield role, starting in the middle of the park against Arsenal last time out.
Levi Colwill was an unused substitute at the Emirates, returning to the team for the Carabao Cup thriller against Leeds United midweek.
The centre-half went off after 76 minutes, heading straight down the tunnel but Alonso allayed fears over any fresh injury issues for the 23-year-old.
