Frank Lampard is expected to learn on Thursday whether injury will rule him out of Chelsea's showdown against Manchester United this weekend.
Disarray
Di Matteo admitted the loss of Lampard in Donetsk threw his masterplan into disarray as Chelsea lost for the first time since their UEFA Super Cup thrashing by Atletico Madrid.
The result also came at a time of the season when the Blues have traditionally suffered a slump, but Di Matteo added: "It's a team that has always shown the character after a defeat and I don't think the previous years should affect the way we are playing this season or where we are this year.
"We are doing everything we can to prevent that as well. The team is in good physical condition and also we have a good squad, so we'll try to utilise everybody that we can."
