Andreas Christensen has limped off injured after just 40 minutes, adding to a growing injury crisis at Stamford Bridge.
The defender look to have a serious problem with his knee, and looked in serious pain as he left the field of play. To add insult to that injury, it looked like he was hurt by his own teammate as they both went to block a shot.
Earlier in the half, left back Emerson was forced off to be replaced by Marcos Alonso.
Mason Mount took a major blow to his foot in midweek, and is playing through the pain. It’s now going to be a real slog for him to get through the rest of this game now, assuming Lampard wants to keep a sub in reserve for as long as possible.
Antonio Rudiger is still out with a problem of his own, and getting him back is now a priority. He can play alongside Fikayo Tomori, but beyond that we’re running out of options all over the pitch.
