Goalkeeper Kepa Arrizabalaga is a doubt with a hamstring injury for Thursday’s Europa League last-32 second leg with Malmo.

Full-back Davide Zappacosta and winger Pedro (both illness) are doubts, with Chelsea holding a 2-1 first-leg advantage.

Willy Caballero is set to start in goal, with under-pressure Maurizio Sarri likely to make changes as he balances progression in Europe with preparations for Sunday’s Carabao Cup final with Manchester City.

Chelsea provisional squad: Caballero, Rudiger, Alonso, Jorginho, Kante, Barkley, Higuain, Hazard, Pedro, Kovacic, Hudson-Odoi, Giroud, Zappacosta, Willian, Cahill, Christensen, Azpilicueta, Luiz, Emerson Palmieri, Ampadu, Hudson-Odoi, Cumming.
