Chelsea will be without Mason Mount for Tuesday Champions League meeting with Malmo.
The midfielder is absent because of illness and joins injured trio Timo Werner, Romelu Lukaku and Mateo Kovacic in being unavailable for the game.
Mount, who is in the running for this year’s Ballon d’Or award, was also absent in Chelsea’s 3-0 win over Newcastle.
“Mason does not really feel better,” said Chelsea boss Thomas Tuchel.
“To stop any speculation, it’s not Covid, he’s negative for Covid. He’s just ill and he does not feel good enough to take part in training and of course take part in the trip to Malmo.”
However Christian Pulisic is fit again and travelled with the squad to Sweden after recovering from an ankle injury.
Chelsea defeated Malmo 4-0 at Stamford Bridge two weeks ago.
The Premier League leaders have won two of their three games in the Champions League so far and sit second in Group H, three points behind Juventus.
