Striker Alvaro Morata will miss Chelsea's Premier League clash at Huddersfield through fatigue and a back issue.

Chelsea boss Antonio Conte is poised to rotate his options as he seeks an immediate response to the loss at West Ham, but Morata is not available.

Midfielder Tiemoue Bakayoko could also be rested after his half-time substitution at the London Stadium, while midfielder Danny Drinkwater (illness) and defender David Luiz (knee) could come into contention, with both being monitored.

Conte said: "Drinkwater started to train on Sunday after his fever.

"He’s come with us, but for sure after three or four days with a fever, his physical condition is not at the top level.

"David Luiz is continuing to recover from his knee problem. And Morata is out. He is a bit tired and he has a problem in his back."

Provisional squad: Courtois, Caballero, Rudiger, Alonso, Fabregas, Drinkwater, Kante, Hazard, Pedro, Bakayoko, Moses, Kenedy, Zappacosta, Willian, Batshuayi, Cahill, Christensen, Azpilicueta, Luiz, Clarke-Salter, Sterling, Eduardo, Ampadu.
