Bournemouth
As for Bournemouth, Kepa Arrizabalaga will lose his place in goal just after gaining it, as the Blues loanee cannot face his parent club on Saturday. With Neto now donning the red of Arsenal, Mark Travers is set to guard the posts.
The Cherries have also lost Dango Ouattara to an ankle issue sustained on international duty; he joins Tyler Adams (back) on the sidelines, but Enes Unal (foot) and Philip Billing (back) might return.
Following a performance which has put him in contention for the Game Changer of the Season award, Sinisterra should certainly be rewarded with promotion to the first XI, as either Evanilson or Marcus Tavernier make way.
Bournemouth possible starting lineup:
Travers; Araujo, Zabarnyi, Huijsen, Kerkez; Scott, Cook; Semenyo, Kluivert, Sinisterra; Evanilson
Chelsea
After being provided with an escape route by Maresca, Manchester United loanee Jadon Sancho could make his first appearance for Chelsea this weekend, having not been eligible to feature against Palace on account of his last-minute deadline-day arrival.
Another one-time Mancunian - Cole Palmer - pulled out of the England squad with a thigh injury but has since been pictured in training, suggesting that he will be fine to feature this weekend, while goalkeeper Filip Jorgensen has trained too.
However, Reece James (thigh), Malo Gusto (thigh), Omari Kellyman (thigh) and Romeo Lavia (thigh) could all miss the trip south, where Axel Disasi may have to fill in as a makeshift right-back.
Chelsea possible starting lineup:
Sanchez; Disasi, Fofana, Colwill, Cucurella; Fernandez, Caicedo; Madueke, Palmer, Felix; Jackson
Prediction: Bournemouth 1-2 Chelsea
