Chelsea star Ben Chilwell will have a scan on Thursday to determine the extent of his hamstring injury suffered against Brighton.
Chilwell was substituted off in injury time during Chelsea’s 1-0 Carabao Cup triumph over Brighton on Wednesday night.
He was treated on the field before being able to walk around the field alongside Chelsea’s medical personnel as he exited.
Chilwell is no stranger to hamstring ailments, including a serious one last season that prompted him to miss the World Cup in Qatar. His most recent setback is thought to be related to the same hamstring.
Chelsea will be anxiously awaiting the results of testing to ascertain the extent of the damage on the English international.
Ben Chilwell will have a scan on a hamstring injury. It is his third hamstring injury since the start of last season. A rotten run of luck: https://t.co/fpXRUnDSF5 #CFC
