Sam Hutchinson’s loan spell at Nottingham Forest may be brought to a premature end.
Chelsea defender Hutchinson has been struggling with a knee problem that was recently assessed by the Blues’ medical staff.
He is currently on a season-long loan at Forest but has not played since being taken off during the Championship side’s game against Crystal Palace on 18 September.
And it has been confirmed that Hutchinson is likely to be sidelined for at least another month.
The affected knee is not the same one the 23-year-old previously injured.
Hutchinson announced his retirement from football in 2010 because of a knee complaint, but last year returned to Stamford Bridge after making a recovery.
