Ben Chilwell looks set to miss the rest of the season after suffering a hamstring injury in Chelsea's win over Bournemouth last weekend.
The left-back limped off in the second half and manager Frank Lampard admitted after the game he could miss Chelsea's last four Premier League fixtures. "With a hamstring at this stage of the season, you'd clearly be worried [that he may miss] the remaining games," Lampard said.
And it appears Lampard's fears have been realised, with the 44-year-old admitting Chilwell's status is "a similar story" to Reece James and Mason Mount, who he confirmed last month would be unavailable for the rest of the season. James picked up a hamstring injury in the second leg of Chelsea's Champions League quarter-final clash against Real Madrid, while Mount has been sidelined after having surgery on an abdominal problem.
