EDEN HAZARD and Diego Costa are both doubtful for Chelsea's clash with West Brom on Wednesday night (7.45pm).
Costa featured in Chelsea's 2-0 FA Cup third round win over Scunthorpe United on Sunday as he scored the opener.
But the Spaniard limped off in the final moments and after the game boss Guus Hiddink admitted his striker is "doubtful" for Wednesday.
The Dutchman also has concerns over the availability of Hazard.
The winger had to go off in the first half of Chelsea's 3-0 victory over Crystal Palace last weekend and Hiddink is keen to not rush his return.
"We want to be cautious with Eden," Hiddink said. "We don't want him to fall again with muscle problems.
"I want to be careful with him so that he doesn't start too early. It will maybe be a week later [than necessary] rather than too early."
Chelsea sit 14th in the Premier League table ahead of hosting the Baggies with Tony Pulis' side two places above them.
