Bad news for Chelsea: Lukaku out for a month

Chelsea won convincingly against Malmö (4-0), but ended the game with a bittersweet taste. Both Romelu Lukaku and Timo Werner had to leave the pitch with physical problems.

According to 'The Sun', it is now possible to stipulate how long the Belgian could be out for. Specifically, the ankle injury he is suffering would keep him off the pitch for at least a month.

If this scenario plays out, the striker would not play again until the end of November, and would be absent from the Blues' upcoming Premier League games against Norwich, Newcastle and Burnley, as well as the second game against Malmo.

Lukaku was brought down by Nielsen inside the box, resulting in a penalty for Chelsea. He was able to walk off under his own power, but limped off with a heavy limp. For the moment, we will have to wait for an official medical report.
