The three ways Chelsea could line up without Tammy Abraham at Leicester City

Chelsea star Tammy Abraham limped off after the 2-2 draw with Arsenal in midweek and might be out for the Blues' game against Leicester City. "He has been getting lightly into the water and all these things but I said yesterday that there’s no fracture but other than that there is still some swelling so I don’t know," boss Frank Lampard said after the FA Cup win over Hull City. So if Tammy will not be able to play, Lampard will have to make a decision. Michy Batshuayi may replace the 22-year-old and it is the most likely option. Another player, who can replace Tammy is Olivier Giroud. However, he starts, then it means the striker's move to Inter Milan has not panned out. At one time this season, Lampard moved Christian Pulisic into the false nine role and if he thinks that is the best way to go then it could happen once more. The American is likely to be unfit for the game. So if Lampard is going to go with that option, then it is likely the front line would be a combination of Pedro, Willian and Callum Hudson-Odoi.
