The 22-year-old, who moved to Stamford Bridge from Ipswich Town for 30 million pounds ($40.26 million) in June, picked up the injury during the 2-0 home win over Fulham in August.
Initially expected to miss six to eight weeks, Maresca later suggested the Englishman could be out until December.
“We don’t have any new injuries,” Maresca told reporters ahead of Saturday’s game. “Liam took part of the session yesterday with the team for the first time. He is not going to be available for tomorrow but probably for the next one.”
