Chelsea forward Emmanuel Emegha has sustained a hamstring injury, which will rule him out of the pre-season tour of Australia.
The Dutchman joined the Blues after his loan stint with Strasbourg, but he won't be involved in the upcoming friendly matches.
He picked up a hamstring issue in the 3-0 win over Bromley behind closed doors and will be sidelined for the next few games at least.
Alongside Emegha, new signing Geovany Quenda may not be available either due to a minor injury. He has not travelled with the squad.
Chelsea recently secured an agreement to land centre-back Maxence Lacroix from Crystal Palace in a deal worth around £52 million.
The Blues are not done yet in the transfer window, and are open to purchasing a marquee central midfielder if Enzo Fernandez leaves.
Fernandez is no longer on the radar of Real Madrid, but continues to be linked with the likes of Paris Saint-Germain as well as Manchester City.
