Ben Chilwell is ruled out until December after suffering hamstring injury with Chelsea defender facing a race against time to make the Christmas fixtures

Chelsea have been dealt another major injury blow with Ben Chilwell set to miss around eight weeks due to a hamstring injury.

Chilwell was forced off late on in Chelsea’s Carabao Cup win against Brighton last week.

Head coach Mauricio Pochettino’s concern was obvious as he confirmed ‘it is bad news from what the doctor told me.’

Chelsea, who are optimistic of having Mykhailo Mudryk and Moises Caicedo fit for Saturday’s clash against Burnley, were awaiting the results of further assessments and are now expecting Chilwell to be sidelined for around two months.
