Chelsea coach Maurizio Sarri has said that the injury sustained by Antonio Rudiger against West Ham United on Sunday is not serious.
The former Empoli boss is hopeful of the defender's return to action after three or four days.
Speaking after the game which ended goalless, Sarri said via The Sun: "I think nothing serious. Three or four days but hopefully nothing more."
The injury means the will miss the Blues' League Cup game against Liverpool on Wednesday.
Rudiger has been a regular for Sarri this term and was replaced by Gary Cahill who was playing his first game of the season and who recently said that he might leave the Blues in January after falling behind the pecking order.
The draw against West Ham brought to an end Chelsea's perfect start to the season, leaving Liverpool as the only side with a 100 percent record.
It remains to be seen if Sarri and Jurgen Klopp will field strong sides when they meet at Anfield on Wednesday.
