They are waiting on Tiemoue Bakayoko to be fit."It's a lot to ask Cesc Fabregas against big teams in a difficult game to patrol as one of the two, and get on the ball to affect games. That's a lot to ask. "Maybe that would relieve Cesc to go further forward and they need cover on the wing-back roles."The wing-backs, if that's what they've got, they're going to play so many games this year and they need more."Marcos Alonso and Victor Moses impressed for Chelsea last season as they swept to title glory, but the Blues had no continental football to contend with. They are back in Champions League action this term and will require greater depth to their ranks in order to rotate and rest as required.There is still plenty of time in which to get further deals done, with the summer transfer window not due to slam shut until August 31.</blockquote>
