It\u2019s believed the former Brighton star is harbouring a niggling injury, which could undermine his chances of featuring in Maresca\u2019s starting XI.<br><br>Fellow attacker Liam Delap will be out until at least November after sustaining a hamstring strain in the West London derby.<br><br>There are also two defensive absentees, with Levi Colwill and Beno\u00eet Badiashile both unavailable. Although Badiashile will shortly return to action, English international Colwill is set to be out for several months despite undergoing successful surgery on his anterior cruciate ligament at the start of August.<br><br>Portuguese Under-21 midfielder D\u00e1rio Essugo \u2013 who is yet to make an appearance since securing a summer switch to Stamford Bridge from Sporting Lisbon \u2013 is sidelined after picking up a thigh issue while on international duty. Romeo Lavia is also carrying a knock, although the powerful Belgian wouldn\u2019t feature anyway as he\u2019s not part of Chelsea\u2019s initial Champions League squad.<br><br>Maresca rested several of his prized assets over the weekend, including an illness-stricken Est\u00eav\u00e3o following his exertions with the Brazil national side. Expect Chelsea to be at full strength on Wednesday night.<\/p>\n\n\n<!-- Shortcode [midnite-offer-bet-10-get-20] does not exist -->\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-potential-pedro-injury-major-blow-for-blues\">Potential Pedro injury major blow for Blues<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">So, just how big a loss would Jo\u00e3o Pedro be?<br><br>The dynamic Brazilian forward has hit the ground running in a Chelsea shirt, netting three times in three Club World Cup appearances before making a scintillating start to the new Premier League campaign. <br><br>He\u2019s been involved in over half of Chelsea\u2019s nine league goals this term, a statistic aided by a goal and two assists during the 5-1 thrashing of West Ham.<br><br>Arguably the Blues\u2019 most potent attacking threat, Jo\u00e3o Pedro has fired more attempts on goal than any of his teammates, while only Portuguese winger Pedro Neto has had more touches in opposition penalty boxes. It\u2019s also important to note his defensive contribution; the 23-year-old has already won a staggering 20 duels during the opening exchanges of the domestic season.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Although he could still feature as a potential impact substitute on Wednesday night, his omission from the starting line-up is undoubtedly a major blow. Maresca will hope the likes of Pedro Neto and Cole Palmer can step up in his absence.<\/p>\n\n\n<h3><strong>Read more:<\/strong><\/h3>\r\n<ul>\r\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.squawka.com\/en\/news\/\"><strong>Latest football news<\/strong><\/a><\/li>\r\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.squawka.com\/en\/bet\/football-tips\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>Football betting tips<\/strong><\/a><\/li>\r\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.squawka.com\/en\/bet\/betting-sites\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>Best betting sites<\/strong><\/a><\/li>\r\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.squawka.com\/en\/bet\/betting-sites\/best-free-bet-offers\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>Best free bet offers<\/strong><\/a><\/li>\r\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.squawka.com\/en\/bet\/football-tips\/accumulator\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>Football accumulator tips<\/strong><\/a><\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Chelsea travel to Bavaria for Wednesday\u2019s meeting with Bayern Munich, as Enzo Maresca aims to follow up last season\u2019s Conference League success with a positive start in the Champions League.
