The 19-year-old, an England Under-20 international, is expected to be included in Wednesday's squad for this weekend's Championship game at Nottingham Forest.

Baker progressed through Chelsea's academy and signed his first professional deal in 2012 before making his only first-team appearance in the FA Cup win at Derby in January last year. He signed a five-year deal at Stamford Bridge in the summer.
