Chelsea may be without Cesc Fabregas this weekend, when they travel to play Aston Villa.

The Spain midfielder, who missed the 1-1 draw with Manchester City last week, is still struggling to recover from a hamstring complaint.

Fabregas has been training alobe with a club physio, since he picked up the problem during the second leg of Capital One Cup semi-final against Liverpool. But there are doubts that he will be fit for their next two Premier League matches against Villa and Everton.

John Mikel Obi has however returned to training, along with Chelsea’s new £23.3m signing, Juan Cuadrado and Jose Mourinho will be looking to rest Fabregas until their Champions League knockout tie at Paris Saint-Germain on February 17.
