Chelsea suffer major blow as Mason Mount is forced off with a bad ankle ligament injury... as the Blues were crowned Club World Cup champions with an extra time victory over Palmeiras

Chelsea have suffered a major blow with Mason Mount set to face a lengthy spell on the sidelines after picking up an ankle injury as the Blues won the Club World Cup.

The England midfielder was forced to leave the pitch in the 31st minute and had to be replaced by Christian Pulisic at the Mohammed bin Zayed Stadium.

The 23-year-old did look in serious discomfort during the post-match celebrations, though, and did not want to put any weight on his right leg, hopping around and leaning on another injured Chelsea man, Ben Chilwell.
