Mauricio Pochettino has sparked fresh concerns over Ben Chilwell’s fitness after revealing the Chelsea full-back was injured in Wednesday’s Carabao Cup win against Brighton.

Nicolas Jackson’s second-half strike was the difference on the night as Chelsea secured a deserved 1-0 victory over Brighton at Stamford Bridge.

The Blues boss named a much-changed side for the Brighton clash, with minutes given to Mykhailo Mudryk, Cole Palmer and £115m summer arrival Moises Caicedo.

Chilwell has struggled with injuries since moving to Chelsea from Leicester three-years ago and his latest problem could force a long spell on the sidelines, as revealed by Pochettino after the game.

The 26-year-old was absent for large stints of last season while nursing two hamstring injuries, and Pochettino revealed it looks as if he has aggravated that existing problem.

‘Is Chilwell injured? Yes,’ said the Chelsea manager after Wednesday’s home win.

‘We need to assess it tomorrow but I think it is hamstring,’ he added.

Victory over Roberto de Zerbi’s side was just the third time since March that Stamford Bridge has witnessed a home win during what has been a torrid time for the club.

Todd Boehly’s deep pockets have failed to solve the ongoing recruitment and performance crisis at Stamford Bridge, but Pochettino believes his side can build momentum off the back of their Carabao Cup win.

‘Very pleased with the performance again. (I am) happy for the victory and (it is) important to go through and build our momentum. I hope to build momentum for the future from today.

‘Very pleased when the strikers score, it’s important. He needed to feel the net, it was an important game for him.

‘All the team was really good. If we assess, all the players were in a very good level.
