Graham Potter said he is concerned about the severity of Wesley Fofana’s knee injury after the sight of the £69.5m defender leaving Stamford Bridge on crutches took the shine off Chelsea kickstarting their Champions League campaign with a 3-0 victory against Milan.

Fofana, who returned from a broken leg this year, has had a mixed start to life at Stamford Bridge and it seemed he was back on track after his goal set Chelsea on their way to a crucial win against the Italian champions. However, the former Leicester defender was soon forced off after being caught by Rafael Leão and he will find out if he faces a lengthy spell on the sidelines after undergoing a scan on Thursday.
