Mykhailo Mudryk, a star for Chelsea, was absent from practice on Wednesday as the Blues intensified their preparations for their Friday night match against Luton Town.
The Ukrainian winger made an appearance off the substitute's bench vs West Ham over the weekend, displaying encouraging indications to justify the significant transfer sum attached to his acquisition.
If you remember, Mudryk struggled after the January transfer, but there was optimism that the 22-year-old would be able to rediscover his best form in the next campaign.
Mykhailo Mudryk is one player who wasn't engaged on Wednesday morning, so missing from training could pose as a little surprise.
Pochettino is also encouraged by two potential returns in defender Benoit Badiashile and attacker Armando Broja.
Armando Broja is making a comeback after suffering an anterior cruciate ligament tear late in the previous year that cruelly forced him to miss the rest of the season.
The injury Badiashile suffered at the close of the regular season continued into the preseason, keeping him out of action for months. He moved to Chelsea from Monaco in January.
