Pochettino has been forced to play through the season with numerous injuries. The blues currently have 10 first-team players are nursing an injury or out due to illness.
The likes of Ben Chilwell, Levi Colwill, Reece James and Lesley Ugochukwu are all recovering from respective injuries. Christopher Nkunku have also failed to stay fit.
Fernandez and Disasi have now been added to the list of players Chelsea might have to do without.
Pochettino spoke about the conditions of Fernandez and Disasi, saying: “We’ll see. They are under assessment. They have different types of issues. We don’t believe they are big issues but we will see if they can be available. At the moment, they have not trained after Sheffield (United) and that is why we don’t know.”
Pochettino will have to make changes to his team with young midfielder Cesare Casadei, who impressed on loan at Leicester City before being recalled in January likely to be given a game time.
Malo Gusto could also take up the right-back role from Disasi against Everton too after being rested for the draw with Sheffield United.
