Enzo Maresca hopes Chelsea will have Cole Palmer back from injury this month to face Barcelona in the Champions League and Arsenal.
Chelsea host Barca on November 25 and then Arsenal five days later, live on Sky Sports, with Palmer yet to return to training after suffering a groin injury in September.
Palmer has missed the last nine matches and also won't take part in their Champions League fixture against Qarabag on Wednesday. Head coach Maresca said on October 17 that his star player would be out for around six weeks.
On whether Palmer would be fit to face Barcelona after the international break, Maresca said on Tuesday: "We hope so but with Cole, we try to schedule the beginning and then we need to review that.
"We go day by day with Cole. He is not taking any sessions with the team.
"We have Benoit Badiashile that can probably be available after the international break and for us, that is huge news.
"I would love to have Cole here tomorrow and for every game. Unfortunately he's injured but for sure, we want him back very soon."
Pedro Neto did not take part in training on Tuesday and won't be involved against Qarabag due to a "small issue".

Now you know, you can bash for not winning the EPL or UCL but not beating Chelsea. Infact the only painful defeat from Chelsea is that UEL final
