Andreas Christensen could be set to miss Chelseas clash with Liverpool after coming down with an illness.
The 22-year-old is yet to make an appearance in the Premier League under Maurizio Sarri this season but played the full 90 minutes against PAOK before starting in the Carabao Cup on Wednesday night.
Christensen was on the pitch as Liverpools Daniel Sturridge scored an acrobatic overhead kick to open the scoring but the Dane was substituted in the 73rd minute and replaced by David Luiz.

According to Goal, Christensen threw up at Anfield during the half-time break and, despite coming out for the second half, was unable to see out the entire match.

Luiz and Antonio Rudiger are expected to start in central defence at Stamford Bridge this weekend, with Gary Cahill set to be named among the substitutes.
Eden Hazard, who scored a stunning last-gasp winner at Liverpool, is hopeful that Chelsea have the momentum ahead of this weekends encounter.
This result will give us more confidence because we drew with West Ham four days ago, the Belgian said after his heroics.
