Kai Havertz turned his ankle nastily in the last play of the first half of Chelsea’s game against West Ham at the weekend, and after the game Thomas Tuchel’s only update on the forward was that he was in “huge pain.”

We still think it’s unlikely he makes the trip to Russia this afternoon – but Saturday’s game against Leeds now looks like a definite possibility.
