N'Golo Kante is a fresh injury doubt ahead of Chelsea's clash with Norwich City on Saturday.
The World Cup winner had a disrupted pre-season due to a knee injury and has been eased into Chelsea's new campaign.
Kante was given 17 minutes in the 4-0 defeat to Manchester United in Chelsea's Premier League opener but played 120 minutes in the Super Cup against Liverpool and completed a full game against Leicester City last Sunday.
But the midfielder could be sidelined this weekend as he has suffered an ankle sprain.
'Kante has got an injury he's carried all week,' Frank Lampard said on Friday.
'We're going to asses that over next 24 hours.'
Lampard also confirmed that Antonio Rudiger remains unavailable, while Callum Hudson-Odoi has impressed after returning to training this week.
'Callum Hudson-Odoi is training, he's looking bright and sharp but we are in the zone of protecting him,' said Lampard.
'The intl break comes at a good time in those terms and Reece James'
