Chelsea suffer new injury blow before Liverpool amid triple Enzo Maresca problem

Chelsea goalkeeper Filip Jorgensen was substituted after suffering an injury in the first half of Denmark under-21s' game against Iceland.

The 22-year-old, who joined in a £20m deal from Villarreal in July, was replaced at half-time of Tuesday's game after colliding with a team-mate in the first half of his team's 2-0 win.

Jorgensen, who is yet to feature in the Premier League for Enzo Maresca's side but has played in the Conference League and Carabao Cup, was attempting to clear the ball before suffering the injury scare.

It remains to be seen how serious the issue is, but Jorgensen will now return to West London to reunite with his Chelsea team-mates ahead of Sunday's Premier League clash against Liverpool.

The Blues are already without the suspended Wesley Fofana and Marc Cucurella for Sunday's trip to Anfield, though it remains to be seen if they will be joined on the sidelines by the Denmark youth international. Reece James remains sidelined.
