Trevoh Chalobah took over as the 21-year-old departed the pitch in the first half hurting his knee.

We'll have to scan it tomorrow and see how it is, manager Graham Potter remarked on BT Sport about the injury after the game. There is currently nothing to report. The only letdown of the evening is that.

The new manager didn't seem to be bothered by anything else as his squad earned a much-needed victory in the competition.

Ironically, a Frenchman picked up a loose ball in the box and fired it home in front of the home fans to score the game's opening goal.

After that, Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang extended the advantage in the second half by converting Reece James' cross for his second goal in as many games.

The effort was better than in the weekend win over Crystal Palace, and they kept up the pressure.

Five minutes after the team's second goal, James added a third. The England international was given a clear path to the goal by Raheem Sterling on the right, and he hammered his close-range drive forcefully into the roof of the net to secure the victory.

With only two points separating each team at the midpoint of the season, the win moves the Blues up from the bottom of Group E in the Champions League.

For the forthcoming game against AC Milan at the San Siro on Tuesday, Potter is still under pressure.

Uncertainty surrounds Fofana's availability because the manager would not address the injury after the game.

"We are unsure of the injury's degree as of yet. Tomorrow, we will scan it. Crossing fingers. We're worried and hoping for the best, but I wouldn't want to speculate just yet.

Given Chelsea's busy schedule leading up to the World Cup break, there will be expectations that the young defender will be eligible for selection as soon as possible, especially as he gets used to life at the club.
