Recall, the full-back missed a substantial amount of last season with hamstring, knee and thigh problems and this latest setback will be another blow for Blues boss Mauricio Pochettino, who has already lost Christopher Nkunku and Wesley Fofana to long-term injuries.
He was withdrawn in the second half of Chelsea’s opening weekend draw with Liverpool and was replaced by 20-year-old Malo Gusto, who made his debut for the club.
