Chelsea could be without Fabregas, Luis and Costa ahead of Premier League battle with Manchester City

Chelsea could be without Cesc Fabregas and Filipe Luis for Saturday's Premier League clash with Manchester City.

The pair had to be withdrawn during Chelsea's 1-0 victory in the Capital One Cup semifinal second leg against Liverpool on Tuesday, while Branislav Ivanovic, who scored the decisive goal, may also be a doubt after suffering a cut foot.

'Branislav could finish the game, Fabregas and Filipe couldn't," Mourinho said after the game. "Filipe was a calf problem, Fabregas was his hamstring."

Mourinho added that Fabregas "said he wasn't yet injured but that he would be soon if he continued" but was uncertain whether he would be available at the weekend.

Chelsea could also lose Diego Costa to suspension if the Football Association opts to charge the striker for two apparent stamps during the victory over Liverpool, but Mourinho has said the incidents were "absolutely accidental."
