Chelsea have struggled in their first season under new ownership, currently 10th in the Premier League and out of both domestic cups.
The likes of Reece James, Ben Chilwell and N'Golo Kante have spent much of the season on the sidelines through injury.
While Mason Mount, Kai Havertz and Mateo Kovacic are among the players that have been out of sorts.

But the 18-year-old wonderkid, who made his name at MLS club Chicago Fire, has earned a rise in transfer value from €0.6 to €5.6m.
