After the international break, Mauricio Pochettino may be unable to rely on Romeo Lavia for a few weeks. The Belgian midfielder was purchased from Southampton during the summer transfer window for around £58 million, although he is yet to make his debut for the Blues. Armando Broja, Reece James, and Benoit Badiashile are among the players who will be practicing over the next two weeks in the hopes of returning from injuries, with a specific comeback game for the latter already known.
Chelsea expects Benoît Badiashile to be available for selection for their Premier League encounter against Bournemouth following the international break. Levi Colwill would be making a return soon after getting the all clear. Trevoh Chalobah has yet to play this season and was anticipated to leave during the transfer window. Since preseason, the defender has struggled with fitness. He has also not been seen in training since, and no update has been provided other from the club's weekly general statement.
