Chelsea welcome regelation-threatened Nottingham Forest to Stamford Bridge in the Premier League on Monday night.
The Blues booked their place in the FA Cup final by beating Leeds United last time out, and return to league action in dismal form having won just one of their last nine matches in the competition, losing each of their last five without scoring a single goal.
Caretaker boss Calum McFarlane will hope to guide the west London outfit to victory against Forest, although his side currently sit ninth in the top flight standings.
Ahead of Monday’s game, it has emerged that Chelsea have been emphatically informed that one of their transfer targets is not for sale.
As per TEAMtalk, Real Madrid have made it clear to interested clubs – including Chelsea and Arsenal – that forward Endrick will not be available this summer.

The young Brazilian striker joined French side Lyon on loan in January having fallen out of favour under Xabi Alonso at Real Madrid.
Since joining Lyon, the 19-year-old has scored seven goals and provided the same number of assists in 18 matches across all competitions.
It is claimed that both Chelsea and Arsenal have enquired about the attacker’s availability in recent weeks, however the La Liga giants are adamant that the Brazilian is not for sale.
In total Endrick has played 40 times for Real Madrid across all competitions, scoring seven times and registering a single assist.
The player himself is also not pushing for a move away form the Spanish capital, with the report claiming that the teenager is instead keen to stay with his parent club and fight for his place once his current loan spell ends.
