Chelsea have been handed a positive injury boost ahead of their UEFA Champions League clash with Borussia Dortmund next month.
Karim Adeyemi - who netted the only goal of the game in midweek - was forced off for Edin Terzic's side earlier today, during their 4-1 win over Hoffenheim. The 21-year-old went down holding his hamstring but did return to applaud supporters following the full-time whistle.
Scoring the only goal of the game in midweek, the extent of the forward's injury is yet to be fully established, as Dortmund face both Hoffenheim and RB Leipzig before the second leg at Stamford Bridge on March 7. BVB are currently level on points with league leaders Bayern Munich and boast an impressive nine-game unbeaten run in all competitions.
