Thomas Tuchel has ruled Mason Mount out of Chelsea's matches against Crystal Palace and Lille and suggested the club will push to see him return in time for the Carabao Cup final against Liverpool.
The 23-year-old midfielder was substituted in the first half of the Blues' Club World Cup Final win over Palmeiras after some discomfort following a collision.
Mount picked up the injury early in the match when an opposition player fell onto his ankle and caused a ligament issue with the immediate reaction, forcing Tuchel into the decision to bring on Christian Pulisic.
