The Blues have been suffering from injuries to key players of the squad since this season and are facing the danger of their season.
They will play Benfica on Tuesday evening in the Champions League, wanting to return their campaign in line after losing their first game against Bayern Munich.
The game will also have additional incentives as the Portuguese team is currently being coached by Jose Mourinho – undoubtedly the main manager in Chelsea’s history.
Which Chelsea players can miss the Benfica match?
Speaking to the media on Monday, Maresca confirmed that three players would undergo a body’s tests late after suffering a stroke in their loss of Brighton and Hove Albion on Saturday.
“For Luck Worse, we have a lot of injured players. This afternoon, we will evaluate Moises Caicico, Joao Pedro and Andrey Santos. Unfortunately for us, they all have minor problems. We are going to see if they are available tomorrow, ” He said he was quoted by the club’s website.
Caicico and Pedro lasted all 90 minutes of the publication for their former team, with Santos being given a red card in the 54th minute shortly after Trevoh Chalobah was released on the red card.

Chelsea summary against Benfica
The Blues defeated Benfica on their way to the United States World Cup in July. The 16-point game lasted for more than two hours due to the weather, but Chelsea won 4-1.
Maresca, however, expects a different type of game on Tuesday evening. The Italian said he did not know what to expect since Benfica had not yet played many matches under Mourinho.
“Of course, you will be a completely different game compared to the club’s World Cup. It’s more difficult to prepare for this game because they have played only three or four matches with Jose [Mourinho]. All the games I started watching had a former manager [Bruno Lage]but I watched three or four matches with Jose and some of the games when he was Man United, Spurs or Rome. “
For his part, Mourinho announced his eternal love for Chelsea before returning to Stamford Bridge. However, he emphasized that he has a job to do as he hopes to put more pressure on Maresca who is in the conflict.
“I will always be blue. I am part of their history. They are part of my history. As quoted by the BBC Sport.
