Chelsea defender David Luiz played over 40 minutes with a broken wrist before his sending off in Sunday's draw with Arsenal.
Luiz, 30, is wearing a cast after suffering the freak injury falling into the advertising hoardings at Stamford Bridge.
The Brazilian centre back is suspended for three domestic games but is determined to play in the Champions League trip to Atletico Madrid next week.
Chelsea rate Luiz as a doubt for that game but he has already returned to light training exercises at Chelsea's Cobham base.
