Kai Havertz - Breaks finger in Cup win Havertz scored but was subbed off at halftime because of a broken finger in Wednesday's Cup win against Tottenham.

Impact Havertz looks to be completely over COVID-19, having started back-to-back matches on a short week. While he broke his finger, that shouldn't prevent him from playing going forward. He'll hope to produce better numbers than the two goals and one assist he has in 15 league appearances.

Timo Werner - Plays second half against Tottenham Werner (COVID-19) played the entire second half in Wednesday's 2-0 Cup win against Tottenham.

Impact Werner is again an option after missing the last two weeks with COVID-19. It's a nice boost to the squad coming into the new year after a mixed bag of results in the first half of the season. He has some good performances, but most of those came in UCL, as he has just one goal and one assist in nine league appearances (six starts).

Ruben Loftus-Cheek - Returns in Cup match Loftus-Cheek (undisclosed) played 17 minutes off the bench in Wednesday's Cup win against Tottenham.

Impact Loftus-Cheek is back from whatever was ailing him the past two weeks. He suffered the issue Dec. 16 and he looks to be recovered, meaning Chelsea's depth is getting back to regular. Of course, if the regular three midfielders are healthy, Loftus-Cheek is the fourth option, which could see him start fewer matches in the second half of the season.

Thiago Silva - Out with COVID-19 Chelsea manager Thomas Tuchel confirmed Silva has tested positive for COVID-19 ahead of Wednesday's Carabao Cup semifinal against Tottenham.
