Christian Pulisic faces a spell on the sidelines with a hip injury.
Chelsea boss Frank Lampard says the American will be out “for a few weeks” with an adductor problem he picked up in training.
Pulisic, 21, had been in excellent form for the Blues.
“He’s got a tendon injury and it’s disappointing for us,” Lampard said.
“We’ll have to see how quickly he recovers because it’s quite a nasty injury. He was in pain when it happened.”
Marcos Alonso has returned to training after a hamstring problem but is not fit enough to be considered for Saturday’s game against Burnley.
Meanwhile, Lampard has blocked potential move for Andreas Christensen and indicated that Chelsea are not pursuing a deal to sign Moussa Dembele despite being linked with the former Fulham forward.
