Chelsea are waiting for injury updates on Ben Chilwell and N’Golo Kante after the pair were both forced off against Juventus.
The club qualified for the knockout stages of the Champions League with a 4-0 win at Stamford Bridge, but their victory came at a cost.
Kante limped off in the 37th minute of the game with a knee injury, while Chilwell felt a “sharp pain” in his own knee during the second half. The left-back was helped off the pitch by two medical staff.
After the match, head coach Thomas Tuchel was asked about the extent of their injuries. He said: “It worries me because (Chilwell) was in such a fantastic moment, like Reece (James) on the other side.
“They were in the best shape they could possibly be, so strong and so full of confidence and with such a lot of quality.
“Chilly has a sharp pain in the knee and he was in a lot of pain. It’s the same with N’Golo. He twisted his knee a little bit but hopefully it’s not too bad.
“These were the only two sad things because N’Golo was again fantastic until the moment when he went off. Hopefully it’s not too bad.”
Chelsea sit top of Group H on goal difference with 12 points. Juventus sit second level on points.
