Chelsea boss Liam Rosenior has provided an injury update on Trevoh Chalobah after the defender was stretchered off in agony against Paris Saint-Germain on Tuesday night.
The Englishman was taken off the pitch in the 85th minute following a late challenge from PSG's Achraf Hakimi. And Rosenior has provided the latest when asked about his condition on TNT Sports after the 8-2 on aggregate Champions League last 16 exit.
He said: "I just asked the medical team, he's got a high ankle sprain, so I'm praying it's nothing too serious because of the way Trevoh's been performing and we can't afford to lose another defender at this moment."
The news represents another blow on a difficult night for Chelsea. Goals from Khvicha Kvaratskhelia, Bradley Barcola and Senny Mayulu ensured an emphatic victory for PSG.
Rosenior's team were second-best across both legs and former Chelsea midfielder Joe Cole belives his old side now after some soul-searching to do.
Speaking to TNT Sports after the game, he said: "That is a real leveller of where this club is compared to Paris. PSG are the gold standard, they are the champions of Europe, but it showed that Chelsea are a million miles away over the course of two legs.
"This isn't a Liam Rosenior problem. Liam's doing waht he's doing, he's just come through the door. This is a problem with strategy and the direction of where the club are going. THis is a real eye-opener to where we are as a club at the moment.
"There's a lot of money being spent and we need to really think of what we're doing and how we're doing it. That's simply not good enough.

"There's 20-year-olds and 19-year-olds on the pitch today. There's time to grow, improve and get better. They'll have better nights in their career. But as a football club, you've got to go football club first, not business first.
"Simple as that, or else you'll get performances like that."
