Leicester
Chelsea are not the only team grappling with a fresh fitness concern, although Leicester's is much higher up on the severity scale, as attacker Abdul Fatawu suffered an ACL injury while on duty with Ghana and is expected to miss the remainder of the season.
Fatawu is just one of five attacking concerns for Saturday's hosts, who are also sweating over Jamie Vardy (back), Bobby Decordova-Reid (Achilles) and Jordan Ayew (knee), but Patson Daka (ankle) is on track to be available.
Only Ricardo Pereira (thigh) and Jakub Stolarczyk (ankle) are definitely missing through injury for the Foxes, but Facundo Buonanotte must serve a one-game suspension for picking up his fifth yellow card of the season at Old Trafford.
Leicester City possible starting lineup:
Hermansen; Justin, Faes, Vestergaard, Kristiansen; Winks, Ndidi, Soumare; El Khannouss, Edouard, Mavididi
Chelsea
The Stamford Bridge medical room has welcomed back its most frequent occupant this week, as Maresca has confirmed that the luckless Reece James has picked up a small hamstring problem and will be unavailable for the trip to Leicester.
However, the Blues boss also told reporters that James was the only injured player in his ranks, suggesting that Romeo Lavia will be OK after a hamstring scare, while Cole Palmer, Jadon Sancho and Levi Colwill have all been pictured in training this week after their own concerns.
In addition, Wesley Fofana and Malo Gusto ought to be given the all-clear after withdrawing from their respective France teams, and Lavia's availability could be of paramount importance following Moises Caicedo and Enzo Fernandez's exploits in South America.
Chelsea possible starting lineup:
Sanchez; Gusto, Fofana, Colwill, Cucurella; Caicedo, Lavia; Madueke, Palmer, Neto; Jackson
Prediction: Leicester City 0-3 Chelsea
