Enzo Maresca will have been keeping a close eye on all of his Chelsea players out on international duty.
A number of his first team squad withdrew either before or during the break to focus on their fitness.
Cole Palmer limped off against Arsenal, and decided not to go and represent England during the international break.
However, Maresca said his only injury concern was Reece James, who unfortunately could be set for another spell on the sidelines.
Romeo Lavia predicted to start for Chelsea vs Leicester
This indicated that none of the players who had reported issues during the international break were suffering with any real damage, including midfielder Romeo Lavia.
Chelsea were likely frustrated that Lavia picked up a problem while travelling with Belgium after they had been managing his return from a long-term issue that has kept him out for most of the time since his £58m move.
According to the Evening Standard, he is predicted to start in the middle of the park alongside Moises Caicedo on Saturday when they take on Leicester City.
Pundits have been impressed by the new-look midfield duo at Stamford Bridge. Jamie Redknapp believes Lavia helps get the best out of Caicedo.
Enzo Fernandez to drop to the bench?
This would see Enzo Fernandez drop to the bench, with the World Cup winner being forced to earn his starts in cup competitions as of late.
Fernandez starred for Argentina earlier this week, and it was always going to be difficult for him to add to two 90 minute displays in South America with a start on Saturday.
Jason Cundy had tipped Maresca to start Fernandez against the Foxes, however admitted that he wouldn’t have personally agreed with that decision.
If Fernandez does not start on Saturday, the captain’s armband is likely again to fall to Moises Caicedo, who has held the role on a number of occasions in the absence of James this season.
