Chelsea right-back Malo Gusto picked up a thigh injury during the 1-1 draw against Crystal Palace at the weekend.
The 21-year-old went off with just over 15 minutes left of the game on Saturday and, speaking after the match, head coach Enzo Maresca said that the defender would need to be assessed.
Gusto has already been withdrawn from France’s Under 21 squad which does indicate that it is not a minor issue.
Whether the two-week break between club fixtures will be enough for him to recover full fitness, it is up for debate.
