Graham Potter has been unable to put a timeline on Reece James' injury after confessing his "disappointment" at losing the player so soon after his recovery.
The defender has only just returned from a lengthy spell on the sidelines with his start against Bournemouth his first outing since mid-October. James though lasted less than an hour at Stamford Bridge as he was forced off with what looks like a leg injury.
James was visibly upset as he received attention from the medics with his arm covering his face. He was able to walk off the pitch, receiving a handshake from his manager, who has since confirmed that the club will have to assess the player before they know more about the injury.
