Antonio Rudiger - Dealing with back issue Rudiger is not available for Germany on Monday because of back problems.

Impact Rudiger was expected to be an option Monday, as his back issue wasn't deemed serious. Unfortunately, that doesn't appear to be the case and he'll return to Chelsea with the issue. For now, he's expected to be ready for Saturday's trip to Brentford, but more info should be revealed in the coming days.

Romelu Lukaku - Leaves Belgium camp early Lukaku returned to Chelsea and did not take part in Sunday's Nations League finale because of "muscle overload."

Impact This doesn't seem like a major worry, but it's something to monitor in the coming week. Lukaku probably could've played Sunday if the match actually meant something. Now, he'll have less than a week to recover for Saturday's trip to Brentford with Champions League after that.

Reece James - Withdrawn from national team James has withdrawn from the English national team because of his ankle injury.

Impact This isn't much of a surprise after Thomas Tuchel's comments last week about James only training in a pool. James originally had a timeline of three or four weeks and it's possible that'll be how long he's out, putting his status for the Oct. 16 contest in doubt, as well.

Thiago Silva - Will miss Brentford trip Silva won't be available for the Oct. 16 trip to Brentford after playing with Brazil over the international break, according to manager Thomas Tuchel.

Impact Brazil have a match on the 14th and Tuchel doesn't want to push Silva, so his absence only makes sense. Silva will join the team on the 16th and is expected to again be an option for the midweek Champions League match against Malmo. Trevoh Chalobah could get another start at center-back for that game if Reece James misses out again.
