Chelsea defender Maxence Lacroix was forced off shortly before half-time of the Carabao Cup match against Liverpool with an apparent hamstring injury.
The match was level at 1-1 at the time of the Frenchman's injury, thanks to a pair of spot-kicks from Morgan Rogers and Cody Gakpo.
Injury During the Match
Lacroix pulled up shortly after the Liverpool equaliser as he chased Gakpo through the centre of the park. He went down off the ball shortly thereafter and received treatment before being hauled off to be replaced by Levi Colwill.
Lacroix hobbled back to the changing rooms at a snail's pace, clutching the back of his left thigh as he conversed with the club's trainers, bearing a concerned expression all the way.
Fitness Concerns for Chelsea
It is a fresh fitness blow for the Blues, who were already without Joao Pedro, Reece James and Jamie Gittens as they headed north to Liverpool. Cole Palmer missed the match through suspension.
Lacroix has been a fixture for Chelsea this season. He signed from Crystal Palace in the summer and has gone on to appear in all eight of their Premier League matches so far, as well as both of the Carabao Cup fixtures thus far.
Xabi Alonso will likely offer an update on his condition at full-time.
