<\/p>\n

Chelsea left-back Ben Chilwell is set to miss at least eight weeks with a hamstring injury, according to reports.<\/p>\n

Chelsea news, exclusives and analysis<\/p>\n

The 26-year-old suffered the injury in the closing stages of Chelsea\u2019s 1-0 victory over Brighton in the Carabao Cup last Wednesday.<\/p>\n

Mauricio Pochettino issued a worrying update on the extent of Chilwell\u2019s injury before his side\u2019s 2-0 victory over Fulham on Monday evening.<\/p>\n

And according to The Telegraph, Chilwell will be sidelined until at least December and could be out for an even longer period of time, depending on his recovery.<\/p>\n

Chilwell will now be unavailable during a key period in Chelsea\u2019s season where Pochettino\u2019s side play Arsenal, Tottenham, Newcastle United, Manchester City and Brighton. <\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

England manager Gareth Southgate also faces a headache at left-back as both Chilwell and Luke Shaw will be absent for his side\u2019s upcoming Euro 2024 qualifier against Italy.<\/p>\n

When asked about the extent of Chilwell\u2019s injury on Friday, Pochettino said: \u2018Bad news.<\/p>\n

\u2018The doctor told me is it is a bad injury but we need to assess in the next few days.<\/p>\n

\u2018It doesn\u2019t look good. We are very sad about the news about Ben. It\u2019s difficult to know [when he will return]. We need to assess in the next few days.<\/p>\n

\u2018The doctor will tell us and the club will communicate. Yes [it\u2019s the same leg as last season]. I think so. It\u2019s the mechanism of the action. He was a little bit unlucky in the way he suffered the injury. It\u2019s very sad because he was having a very good game.\u2019<\/p>\n
