Chelsea talisman Cole Palmer is fit to face Aston Villa on Saturday.
The forward missed the 5-0 defeat at Arsenal due it illness but is ready for the weekend clash with the Champions League-chasing Villans.
However, Malo Gusto, Levi Colwill, Reece James and now Raheem Sterling are not fit.
Asked about Colwill and James, Pochettino said: “They are close but they are still not available. We assume that Cole will be part of the squad tomorrow.”
Carney Chukwuemeka has also joined the injury last, a day after it was confirmed Enzo Fernandez has undergone surgery to end his season early.
