There are suggestions that left-back Marcos Alonso may have played his last game for Chelsea.
The 31-year old was subbed off at half-time in the match against Wolves on Saturday, and that led to a heated exchange between the Spanish international and Thomas Tuchel.
It may already have cost Alonso his cup final place against Liverpool and he is unlikely to be considered for selection against Leeds United on Wednesday.
He will have a year left on his current contract at the end of this season, but had already been linked with a return to Spain, with Barcelona, who have already agreed to sign Chelsea team-mate Andreas Christensen on a free contract, among the clubs interested in him.
Alonso joined the Blues in 2016 from Fiorentina, and has made more than 200 appearances for them, winning five major trophies during his time in West London.
However, it now looks like he may leave Stamford Bridge under a cloud.
