Chelsea are likely to be without Mateo Kovacic for this weekend’s FA Cup final against Liverpool.
Kovacic had to be substituted during the first half of their 3-0 win at Leeds United on Wednesday night.
The Croatian midfielder was on the end of a horror tackle from Dan James, which saw the ex-Manchester United forward sent off.
Chelsea manager, Thomas Tuchel, was asked about Kovacic at the end of the match at Elland Road.
He replied: “I only saw [the tackle] from a distance on the iPad because I was not watching the match at that very second, but if I see Kova’s foot right now, then there is no doubt it should be a red card,” he said.
“It’s the same ankle again. It’s very, very painful and it’s very bad news on a nice evening.
