Chelsea attacking midfielder Mason Mount had to be withdrawn early in the FIFA Club World Cup final as his injury woes from the Plymouth win carry into the biggest of games.
Mount, 23, was selected for the final after only coming on against Al Hilal in the previous round from the bench as Thomas Tuchel and his coaching team looked to manage his minutes smartly, knowing what happened last weekend in the FA Cup against the League One outfit.
"Hopefully not, we will see. He felt an injury in extra time with this shot on goal. Only by this shot – it wasn't a serious problem during the game – it was only when he had the shot he realised he had quick he felt pain and so we took him off," Tuchel's assistant Arno Michels said after the FA Cup fourth round win.
