Graham Potter and Chelsea have been handed another significant injury blow when captain Cesar Azpilicueta was stretchered off with a worrying head injury in the Blues' 1-0 defeat to Southampton.
Whilst the likes of Wesley Fofana, Reece James and Ben Chilwell have, previously, been ruled out of action through injury for large parts of the season, it now appears that Azpilicueta is set for a spell on the sidelines.
In an attempt to defend Sekou Mara's overhead kick, the Spaniard took a heavy boot to the face inside his own penalty area and instantly dropped to the floor. Club doctors and medical staff were immediately called onto the field as players gathered around closely.
