The severity of his injury is not yet known

Lukaku then won the penalty in the lead-up to Chelsea's second, but couldn't continue after hurting his ankle when hauled down in the area.

Shortly before half-time, it was a double whammy for Tuchel with Werner forced off with a hamstring problem.

It remains to be seen just how serious the injuries to Lukaku and Werner s but Tuchel will no doubt be sweating on the fitness of his two attackers, who are the players who are most accustomed to playing in the number 9 role at Chelsea.

Lukaku joined for a club £97.5milliion from Inter in the summer and already has four goals to his name.

Christensen finally has a goal for Chelsea - it's taken its sweet time

The Belgian was replaced by Kai Havertz, whilst Callum Hudson-Odoi came on for Werner.

Despite their injury problems, it was a brilliant first half from Chelsea, who had a very strong XI for the Stamford Bridge clash.

Christensen guided home a volley in style to put the hosts in early control - his first goal for the club in his 137th appearance for the Blues.

And Jorginho doubled the dominant home side's lead from the spot to put the clash firmly in Chelsea's control.
