Chelsea news, exclusives and analysis<\/p>\n
England international Chilwell is set to miss at least eight weeks with a hamstring problem, according to reports.<\/p>\n
The 26-year-old left-back picked up the injury in the Carabao Cup win over Brighton and missed Chelsea\u2019s west London derby victory against Fulham.<\/p>\n
Pochettino has now responded to reports that Chilwell will miss at least the next eight weeks by insisting that there is still no timescale on his potential return.<\/p>\n
\u2018It is difficult, I am not a doctor,\u2019 the Argentine said on Friday. \u2018It is about judging day-by-day, we cannot say the period he will be out.\u2019<\/p>\n
There was more of a positive update on right-back Reece James, who looks set to return against Arsenal after the upcoming international break.<\/p>\n
\u2018He was training with the group,\u2019 Pochettino added. \u2018It is a shame he is banned for tomorrow but we are really happy with the way he is recovering.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
\u2018We hope that after the international break he will be available\u2026 sorry, sorry, he is available, but suspended.\u2019<\/p>\n
Pochettino also provides updates on Moises Caicedo, Mykhailo Mudryk, Carney Chukwuemeka and Romeo Lavia.<\/p>\n
\u2018[Caicdeo and Mudryk are] both in the squad, we will decide later whether they have a chance for the start,\u2019 Pochettino said.<\/p>\n
\u2018[Chukwuemeka] was close to joining us last week.<\/p>\n
\u2018This week he has trained well, I still have not decided, I need to check with the medical staff as I\u2019m straight from the training pitch and 30 minutes late to the press conference, I am sorry for that.<\/p>\n
\u2018[Lavia] is still not running. After the international break he is not going to be ready.\u2019<\/p>\n
