Ben Chilwell, Noni Madueke, Reece James - Chelsea injury news and return dates after Brighton
Mauricio Pochettino was dealt a huge injury scare towards the end of Chelsea's clash against Brighton in the Carabao Cup. Nicolas Jackson booked the Blues a place in the fourth round with a confident strike past Bart Verbruggen, ending his four-game goal drought.
However, while the west Londoners may have turned a new page following a poor start to the season, Ben Chilwell was forced from play in the final minutes of the tie. After colliding with Billy Gilmour, the England international required on-field medical treatment before making his way off the pitch.
