He needs a replacement for FA Cup centre back pairing of John Terry and Branislav Ivanovic who are both banned for that match, along with Raul Meireles and Ramires.
For Blackburn, a late defeat to fellow strugglers Wigan ended their hopes of avoiding the drop and they will end this campaign with under 35 points for the first time since 1978/79.
Steve Kean's side have lost seven of their last eight league games and will be determined not to bow out of the Premier League with little more than a whimper.
The game is likely to come to too soon for another hamstring victim Gary Cahill, who picked his injury up in the Champions League semi-final second leg against Barcelona.
John Obi Mikel, Petr Cech and Didier Drogba were all rested against Liverpool and could feature this weekend.
Blackburn will be without defender Bradley Orr who is having surgery on his troublesome Achilles tendon.
Kean is sweating on the fitness of goalkeeper Paul Robinson who he rates as 'touch and go' to be available, while midfielder David Dunn will also have a late fitness test.
Chelsea
Finishing sixth is their lowest league placing since 2001-02, when they also ended up in sixth.
Chelsea have lost 10 league matches this season. The last time they lost 10 or more was in the 2000-01 campaign when they were defeated 11 times.
They have not beaten Manchester United, Arsenal or Liverpool this season (two draws, four defeats).
The defeat to Liverpool on Tuesday equalled the biggest ever losing margin for Chelsea in the Premier League since Roman Abramovich bought the club in June 2003.
Blackburn
This is the second time Blackburn have been relegated since their league winning season in 1994-95.
This is the first time since the 1978-79 season that Rovers will end the season with under 35 points.
Paul Robinson has posted the lowest saves to shots ratio (57 per cent) in the Premier League this season (top-flight average is 69%).
Only one player, Andy Johnson in 2004-05, has ever scored more Premier League goals for a relegated side than Yakubu's 16 this season.
Blackburn's 47 league goals is as many as seventh-placed Everton and eighth-placed Liverpool have managed.
