Chelsea midfielder Mason Mount suffered ankle ligament damage during their Club World Cup final victory over Palmeiras.
Mount asked to leave the pitch just 31 minutes into the victorious Club World Cup final with Christian Pulisic replacing him.
Mount left the stadium on crutches and is now set to undergo scans when returning to London on Sunday.
Boss Thomas Tuchel said: “Mason told me the ankle was still, painful and didn't feel good.
"An opponent fell on his ankle and he hurt his ligaments badly."
During celebrations on the pitch Mount, 23, could be seen hobbling around with heavy strapping on his right ankle.
