NONI MADUEKE has been substituted with an injury just 19 minutes into Chelsea's clash with Brighton. The England international, 22, signalled that he wanted to go off with what appeared to be a hamstring issue. The winger sat on the turf in clear discomfort. He was then replaced by substitute Jadon Sancho. Madueke has been a regular for Chelsea this season, starting 18 of their 25 Premier League games.

Fans watching on at home fumed at the Blues' lack of other available options - blaming their board. One wrote: "Madueke injured. That’s what you get for not signing anyone and letting players leave for peanuts. Amateur ownership.". THIS IS A DEVELOPING STORY..
