Graham Potter has provided an update on Denis Zakaria after the midfielder picked up a knock against Fulham. The 26-year-old was replaced by Jorginho just minutes following Kalidou Koulibaly's equaliser and was believed to have sustained a muscular injury.
The Switzerland international hobbled down the tunnel, occasionally clutching his upper thigh while looking immensely disappointed. Zakaria has quickly become an integral feature in the Blue side amid a string of standout performances.
He has featured in each of the Blues' previous six fixtures, marshalling Potter's midfield to the great effect despite his teammates' unconvincing form. Zakaria, who is on loan at Chelsea from Juventus until the end of the season, is likely to undergo various scans to determine the extent of his injury and he's set to be greatly missed.
