The squad was back in for training on Tuesday afternoon, after an extra day off following defeat at Spurs on Saturday.
Didier Drogba was fully involved in the session despite his ongoing hernia problems, but absent was Michael Essien, who contrary to media reports will not be in the squad for the weekend's game against Stoke City at Stamford Bridge.
The Ghanaian's participation in the remainder of the campaign is now in doubt, with only four games to play including the FA Cup Final on May 15, while Carlo Ancelotti reiterated at the weekend that any decision on an operation for Drogba will be taken by the player himself.
Also missing from Ancelotti's session on Tuesday was John Mikel Obi, who had been at Cobham earlier in the day before leaving for scans on his left knee and ankle, having reaggravated the injury picked up by a Kevin Davies tackle in the Bolton game at Reebok Stadium.
Those that were left completed a short, sharp hour-long programme, the type discussed by Michael Ballack before Saturday's match.
