Chelsea manager Graham Potter could potentially be working without as many as 10 players for Sunday's FA Cup third-round tie with Manchester City.

The Blues lost 1-0 to the Premier League champions in Thursday's top-flight clash, where Raheem Sterling and Christian Pulisic were both forced off with injuries in the first half, and Mason Mount did not make the squad due to a training knock.

The extent of their injuries is currently unclear, but Potter is sure to also be without N'Golo Kante, Reece James, Edouard Mendy and Armando Broja, while Wesley Fofana, Ben Chilwell and Ruben Loftus-Cheek are all doubts.

Mendy's finger operation will see Kepa Arrizabalaga hold his place in goal for the time being, while Cesar Azpilicueta and Marc Cucurella are unlikely to be handed any respite out wide.

Thiago Silva may drop out for Trevoh Chalobah as Kalidou Koulibaly holds his place, and the fresh legs of Jorginho should also come into play in the midfield - likely in place of Mateo Kovacic.

Denis Zakaria caught the eye with his performance in the middle and could now be joined by a new face in Carney Chukwuemeka, that is if Mount's knock proves too difficult to overcome for the weekend.

Chelsea's attacking injury crisis is good news for Hakim Ziyech, Kai Havertz and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, all of whom should begin this match, but Omari Hutchinson could be a wildcard candidate.

David Datro Fofana, Andrey Santos and Benoit Badiashile have all signed for the club this month, but Sunday's game may come too soon for any of them to make their debuts.

Chelsea possible starting lineup: Kepa; Azpilicueta, Chalobah, Koulibaly, Cucurella; Jorginho, Zakaria, Chukwuemeka; Ziyech, Havertz, Aubameyang
