Liam Rosenior has confirmed that Chelsea will be without Estevao and Marc Cucurella again when they take on London rivals Arsenal on Sunday.

Both have been struggling with hamstring issues and will not play against the Gunners.

“Unfortunately, Estevao will be out for a little longer,” Rosenior said.

On Cucurella, Rosenior said: “Cucurella is progressing really well. He’s not available for Sunday but hopefully we get him back soon.”

However, the Blues could be boosted by the return of Romeo Lavia, who is stepping up his return to full fitness and was on the bench in the draw with Burnley.

“Romeo is getting stronger and stronger,” Rosenior said.

“We had a mini practice match in the week which he looked good in.”

Fellow midfielder Dario Essugo is also closing in on a return, while Rosenior confirmed that Reece James is fit and available for selection.

Jamie Gittens remains sidelined while he works his way back from a hamstring injury.
