Chelsea are set to be without Joao Pedro for Wednesday’s (28th October) Carabao Cup tie at Liverpool and Saturday’s (31 October) Premier League meeting with Manchester United after Xabi Alonso confirmed the forward has a thigh injury.
Joao Pedro, 25, felt the problem in training at Cobham on Friday and was a surprise absentee from the Blues squad that lost 2-0 to Tottenham Hotspur at Stamford Bridge on Saturday.
