Chelsea won't see Ben Chilwell for a fortnight due to an ankle strain.

Chilwell will be missing until at least the New Year after the left-back suffered damage to his ankle in the early exchanges of the win over West Ham.

The Telegraph says Chelsea have now discovered the full extent of Chilwell's injury.

While it's a blow to lose their first-choice left-back for a crucial period, there is a silver lining for the Blues.

The report adds that the scan did not reveal a break or any signs of serious harm to Chilwell's ankle.

Instead, it's highly likely that he has suffered minor damage to his ligaments with severe bruising.

It means Chilwell is also highly likely to miss games against Aston Villa and Manchester City.
