Chelsea have enjoyed a very strong start to life with Liam Rosenior as the new manager, winning six of their first eight games since his arrival.
He is looking to defend his perfect Premier League record when the Blues travel to Molineux to take on 20th-placed Wolves.
One area of concern for Rosenior will be the growing list of injury problems that have racked up amongst his first team players in recent weeks.
Chelsea’s injury list is growing…
Palmer's fitness is also a question mark.
How concerned are you by the influx of injuries under Liam Rosenior?
Jamie Gittens is the most recent name to be added to the list, with him set to be out for a prolonged period of time due to a torn hamstring.
Jorrel Hato calls for Ryan Kavuma-McQueen or Jesse Derry to be called up to Chelsea first team
With the January transfer window now closed, they have no chance to directly replace Gittens in the market, and may have to look from within in order to fill that void.
Chelsea supporter and influencer Alex Goldberg posted on Instagram that he would like to see either of Jesse Derry or Ryan Kavuma-McQueen given a chance in the winger’s absence.
Current first team star Jorrel Hato was seen liking the post, suggesting he agrees with the sentiment regarding both youngsters.
They are in good hands when it comes to the manager. Rosenior has a track record for utilising young players from his time in charge of Strasbourg.

It looks as if Rosenior has already taken note of the capabilities of some of the most talented young players coming through at Cobham.

Let us know of any young players we may have missed…
Derry has been spotted in first team training since the new manager took over, and his stats with the U21s this season suggest he is ready for the step up.
He has 11 goals and four assists to his name this season, although Kavuma-McQueen is not far behind.
He has nine goal contributions so far in this campaign, despite being just 17 years of age. Kavuma-McQueen has also trained with the first team too.
