Chelsea manager Graham Potter has expressed his worry for Ben Chilwell, who picked up a hamstring on Wednsday when they faced Dinamo Zagreb in the UCL.

While Chelsea won the match on a 2-1 scoreline, it, however, came with an injury blow that could affect not just the club but also the English national team as Chilwell could miss the 2022 world cup in Qatar.

‘It’s not great. Obviously when he pulls up like that it’s a concern, so we need to scan it, but it’s not positive at the moment,’ Potter said.

‘It’s a blow for us on an otherwise positive evening, I think. It’s a blow, to see him pull up like that is not a great sight. So fingers crossed that when we get it scanned it isn’t as bad, as it can be not severe. We have our fingers crossed at the moment, but obviously we’re disappointed.

‘I think you’d have to say there are worries about him being okay for the World Cup. I don’t want to add any more than that, but obviously when a player pulls up like he did and he felt it, it’s never positive. He just felt something as he was setting off and it’s not nice.’
