Noni Madueke broke down the right wing and cut the ball back for Cole Palmer, who fired wide, and Madueke then stayed down holding his hamstring.
Enzo Maresca confirmed Noni Madueke is facing “a while” on the sidelines to add to Chelsea’s injury problems.
Madueke’s absence leaves Chelsea increasingly short in attack, with Nicolas Jackson, Marc Guiu and Mykhailo Mudryk already unavailable to the Blues boss.
It leaves Sancho, Pedro Neto, Cole Palmer and Christopher Nkunku as the options for Maresca as he attempts to find a solution to his side’s attacking woes.
Asked for an update on Madueke after the match, Maresca said: “Noni unfortunately it’s a hamstring problem, he will be out for a while.”.
