Mauricio Pochettino has revealed that Ben Chilwell picked up a hamstring injury while playing for Chelsea in their 1-0 win over Brighton in the Carabao Cup. Chilwell had been thrown back into the starting line-up for the match and completed the full 90 minutes.
The Chelsea head coach noted that they need to assess the injury further tomorrow, but they believe it to be a hamstring issue. Talking about the victory, Pochettino said he was pleased with the performance and the response from the team. He also complimented Cole Palmer for his key role in the win, noting that he still needs time to settle in the city.
The victory was a must-win for the team, according to Pochettino, who said in the second half they dominated and fully deserved the victory. The coach also clarified that Noni Madueke was not injured but simply wasn't selected for the match.
The Blues are back in action on Monday when they travel to Fulham for a west London derby. Hopefully Chilwell's injury isn't too serious and the team can keep their momentum going from the Carabao Cup win.
