Trevoh Chalobah could return from injury just in time for the first leg of Chelsea's UEFA Conference League round of 16 tie against Copenhagen
It’s only lasted 25 minutes though, thanks to an injury to Gusto. The Frenchman appeared to be in pain after a Copenhagen player landed on his ankle earlier. He played on, but blocking a cross with that same foot seemed to do more damage, and he went down right away asking to be taken off.

Chelsea centre back Trevoh Chalobah will be out of action for at least a week after picking up an injury during the weekend's 2-1 Premier League loss at Aston Villa, manager Enzo Maresca said on Monday.
Tosin Adarabioyo was summoned to replace the stricken Chalobah, as Chelsea let a 1-0 lead slip to fall to a 2-1 loss to the Lions, who cancelled out Enzo Fernandez 's opener through an Asensio double.
Chelsea earned a rare away win as they beat Copenhagen 2-1 in the Conference League. The narrow last-16 victory is the first positive result for Enzo Maresca’s side since they got the better of Astana in this competition in December.
Chelsea defender Trevoh Chalobah sent a message to Chelsea fans which earned reactions from the likes of Reece James and Marc Cucurella.
Maresca added: "Cole gets excited even to play training sessions, so he's always happy to play games. It was planned [to add him at this stage]. For the first six months of the season, we tried to give him more rest - him, Wes, Romeo. Unfortunately, the other two got injuries but the plan was exactly this plan."
Maresca will revert to what he deems to be his strongest possible team for that contest before the reverse fixture against Copenhagen takes place in West London on March 13. The final match before the March international break is a short trip across the capital to face Arsenal at the Emirates Stadium on March 16.
