Jakub Moder has a long-term knee injury, and Enock Mwepu is ill.
The home side is in good shape, so the same XI could play against Liverpool.
Danny Welbeck was outstanding in the 3-3 draw with Liverpool and should lead the line. Trossard, who scored three times at Anfield, will also operate in the final third. Alexis Mac Allister and Moises Caicedo will play in the middle.
Conte postponed the press conference after learning his 61-year-old fitness coach died of leukemia.
Japhet Tanganga, Lucas Moura, and Dejan Kulusevski are injured and Emerson Royal is suspended for the North London derby.
Ivan Perii could move to the right and Ryan Sessegnon to the left, but no other changes are expected.
