Chelsea defender Thiago Silva insists his injury knock isn't serious.
The Brazilian was forced off the pitch in the first half of Chelsea's 1-0 win over Spurs and with what appeared to be a hamstring injury after stretching for the ball.
Timescales on his return have yet to be confirmed but Silva has been a central figure since Tuchel took over the Blues as successor to Frank Lampard.
"Injuries are part of our profession, now treating and returning stronger!" he posted to social media.
But while Silva appears to be maintaining a positive outlook, manager Thomas Tuchel said that the defender would most probably miss out on Sunday's trip to Sheffield United.
"We have to wait. It's worrying because it's a muscle injury," Tuchel said after the Tottenham match. "I think for Sunday he is a big doubt."
