John Terry has been ruled out of Chelsea’s Champions League game against Paris Saint-Germain on Tuesday.
The Chelsea captain injured a hamstring during Saturday’s Premier League win over Newcastle and has not travelled to France despite training on Monday morning.
Terry must now wait for his 700th Chelsea appearance and his absence leaves Guus Hiddink short of centre-back options with Kurt Zouma out for the season.
Hiddink could pair Branislav Ivanovic with Gary Cahill and switch Cesar Azpilicueta to right-back, leaving Baba Rahman to come in on the left.
Eden Hazard is expected to be involved in the Champions League encounter, but reignited speculation over his long-term Chelsea future by admitting it would be hard to reject an approach from PSG.
'Chelsea fly to Paris on Monday afternoon, with Hiddink due to address the media later that evening.
Brazil playmaker Oscar, who missed Chelsea’s match with the Magpies, also took part in training.
