Diego Costa and Gary Cahill picked up injuries last night
Chelsea have been dealt two major injury blows ahead of the new season with Diego Costa and Gary Cahill both suffering injuries.
The Blues were playing FC Barcelona in a pre-season friendly, a game in which they won on penalties after the initial match ended 2-2.
However, more concerning for Chelsea is the injuries picked up by Diego Costa and Gary Cahill during the match.
Injuries to Duo
Costa, who has had an ongoing problem with his hamstring, damaged it further last night by picking up a hamstring strain, whilst centre-back Cahill broke his nose whilst scoring the equaliser.
The defender jumped highest to nod the ball home but was collided into by the goalkeeper’s gloves.
Both stars could miss the season opener next Sunday at Wembley as Chelsea take on Arsenal in the Community Shield.
It’s believed Chelsea’s medical staff will know further about the duo at a later date.
