Cole Palmer was nowhere to be seen in pictures released by Chelsea from the training session at Cobham on Tuesday.
Palmer reasons for absence are not clear. It might be because he is not registered in the Conference League squad so won't play on Thursday anyway. However there is also a fitness worry.
The attacking midfielder limped off the pitch at the end of the Premier League game with Man United last weekend after a brutal challenge from Lisandro Martinez.
Later Enzo Maresca confirmed that Palmer was given an ice pack in the dressing room but hinted that the issue might not be too serious.
The Italian coach will speak to the press on Wednesday ahead of the game against Noah and will likely provide an update on Palmer fitness.
