Jose Mourinho has suffered another major setback after it emerged keeper
Thibaut Courtois is expected to be out for at least two months after
suffering a serious knee injury.
Chelsea doctors were attempting to assess the full extent of the issue and
although substantial swelling was preventing them from making an exact
diagnosis, Courtois has already been warned he faces an extended spell on the
sidelines.
Chelsea’s initial fears that Courtois had suffered cruciate-ligament damage
are believed to have been dismissed, but the 23-year-old Belgian
international has been ruled out of Saturday's trip to Everton.
