Chelsea playmaker Cole Palmer could be sidelined for three to six weeks after picking up a groin injury against Manchester United in the Premier League.
The Blues suffered their first defeat of the Premier League campaign against the Red Devils last weekend. Palmer was substituted after just 20 minutes on the clock due to a fresh groin issue.
Blues boss Enzo Maresca has yet to provide a definite update on the concern, but journalist Simon Phillips claims that Palmer has a new tear in the same groin and could be out for weeks.
He said: "Sources have heard that Palmer has a new tear in the same groin and we are looking at around 3-6 weeks out. This is as a result of further aggravation to the groin in the Bayern game."
Chelsea take on Brighton & Hove Albion in the Premier League this weekend. The Blues are seven points behind leaders Liverpool and Saturday's game already appears a must-win.
