Kalidou Koulibaly, Mason Mount - Chelsea injury news and return dates after Real Madrid loss

No comments


An injury concern for Kalidou Koulibaly saw him come off early in the second half before Ben Chilwell was sent off for a last-man foul on Rodrygo. Marco Asensio then doubled the La Liga side's tally with an effort from range, meaning Chelsea need a huge turnaround at the Bridge.

Kalidou Koulibaly  started in a back three for Chelsea against Real and after a lung-busting run to track back and deny Rodrygo a chance, the defender pulled up. It came as a huge concern for the Blues as the Senegal international continued for a few moments, only to go down to ground again.

Lampard didn't comment on his injury after the game is it remains to be seen exactly what the issue is and how long the centre-back is likely to be out for.
