Coach Liam Rosenior did not give a timeframe on his recovery on Thursday.
“Unfortunately it’s looking a little more long-term for him," Rosenior said. "He’s got a tear in his hamstring which is a real shame for him and he will be a big miss for us. I’ve not had the chance to work with him for long but I know about his career and what an outstanding player he is, so it’s a big loss. It’s too early to say how long he will be out for.”
Pedro Neto and Reese James will be assessed before the Premier League game against Wolverhampton on Saturday.
Both missed the Arsenal game because of what were described as knocks.
Better news for Chelsea was confirmation Cole Palmer and Estevao were available to start against Wolverhampton after being used only as substitutes against Arsenal.
