Levi Colwill injury concern
Chelsea defender Levi Colwill looked to have picked up an injury problem in his side's Carabao Cup second round tie with AFC Wimbledon at Stamford Bridge on Wednesday.
The 20-year-old, who has been so impressive for the Blues in the opening stages of the season, looked to be struggling just over the hour-mark in the Blues' game with the Dons, with the score at 1-1. Colwill tried to continue but was then taken off by Mauricio Pochettino and the defender headed straight down the tunnel, pointing towards his foot.
However, Mauricio Pochettino gave an update about the defender after the game.
"[An injury to Colwill?] No. Ice on his ankle but it is not going to be a problem."
