Chelsea striker Marc Guiu has suffered an injury ahead of the FA Cup fourth round tie against Brighton & Hove Albion on the road.
The Blues have had an average Premier League campaign, but they are still fourth in the standings with 43 points on the board.
The club will be in FA Cup action at Brighton on Saturday and ahead of the game, they have sustained another untimely setback.
Guiu has suffered a leg adductor injury and he is expected to miss the trip to the South Coast as a precaution, as per latest reports.
The news is a setback for the Blues, considering manager Enzo Maresca was planning to start the Spaniard up front against the Seagulls.
Nicolas Jackson and Christopher Nkunku have misfired in front of goal in recent weeks. Guiu may have to wait longer for his chance.
Chelsea will be determined to beat the Seagulls to keep their hopes of winning a trophy alive. They will go into the game as slight underdogs.
