Chelsea face a tight turnaround as they return to action against West Ham United on Sunday afternoon.
Despite picking up a few more injuries last weekend, the Blues turned in a superb display to seal a 2-0 win over Tottenham on Thursday night.
They emerged from a very impressive victory unscathed with no new knocks to report but plenty still lingering in the squad.
Thiago Silva missed out after limping off against Aston Villa at the weekend. While there are fears he may have played his last game for the club after announcing he will be leaving the club at the end of the season, he remains under assessment by Chelsea’s medical staff.
Malo Gusto meanwhile has not featured since the 6-0 win over Everton with his manager described as a ‘minor’ knee ligament problem but it remains unclear when he will return.
There was good news this week with Pochettino confirming Levi Colwill and Christpher Nkunku are stepping up their returns in training, along with captain Reece James.
Pochettino is hopeful Colwill and Nkunku will be able to return to the squad this weekend.

Enzo Fernandez will have no further role to play this season after undergoing surgery with Raheem Sterling and Carney Chukwuemeka also joining the injury list last week.
West Ham meanwhile will hope to have defenders Konstantinos Mavropanos and Nayef Aguerd available again after the pair missed the 2-2 draw against Liverpool.
