Mount has a problem with his pubic bone, while Sterling has a hamstring problem. Thiago has a knee injury and captain Azpilicueta is out with a concussion.

Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and Edouard Mendy remain out, while Armando Broja is not expected to return this season.

“Raheem has a problem with his hamstring. It’s not too serious, but he will miss the weekend’s game and he will miss the international trip,” Chelsea boss Graham Potter said on Friday.

“It’s the same with Mason. Mason struggles a bit with his pubic bone. He wasn’t 100 percent in the last game. He’s not quite there yet, so he’ll miss the camp in England too.

“Thiago is still gone, Azpi is still gone.”

Christian Pulisic will take credit for the first three, including Mykhailo Mudryk on the bench, while Reece James is fit to start at fullback.

Chelsea XII: Kepa, Fofana, Koulibaly, Badiashile, James, Fernandez, Kovacic, Chilwell, Felix, Havertz, Pulisic.

Subs: Kante, Loftus-Cheek, Bettinelli, Chalobah, Mudryk, Gallagher, Chukwuemeka, Madueke, Cucurella.
