Chelsea head coach Antonio Conte has admitted that Ethan Ampadu and Callum Hudson-Odoi could both be involved against Hull City in the FA Cup fifth round.
The Blues are having to deal with a number of injury issues ahead of Friday's game at Stamford Bridge, with Conte suggesting that as many as five senior players may miss out on the encounter in West London.
Ampadu and Hudson-Odoi have both featured in squads on a regular basis, but Conte has claimed that Trevoh Chalobah, Dujon Sterling and Kyle Scott are also in contention for selection.
At a press conference, the 48-year-old told reporters: "In the Carabao Cup and FA Cup I have given them the chance to play. We are talking about two of the best players in our academy.
"There's also [Nathaniel] Chalobah's brother, Sterling and Scott for tomorrow's game. Chelsea's future is brilliant with these players."
Chelsea are playing their second game of the week, having recorded a 3-0 win over West Bromwich Albion in the Premier League on Monday night.
