Mateo Kovacic could miss Chelsea’s net two games with an Achilles injury he sustained against West Ham United on Wednesday, Lampard has revealed.
The Croatia international had to be substituted in the 53rd minute of Chelsea’s 3-2 loss at the London Stadium.
Chelsea welcome Watford to the Stamford Bridge on Saturday as they attempt to bounce back but Kovacic will not be involved.
Defender Fikayo Tomori is also not available as he continues to recover from a muscle injury.
‘’Fikayo is still not fit. He’s hopefully going to be training with us somewhere through next week,’’ Said Lampard on Friday.
‘’He’s doing a lot of work, it’s just the last bit to get him on the training pitch that’s been a bit tough.
Kovacic is going to be out, he hurt his Achilles during the West Ham game and will miss this one and possibly the one after that. Hopefully it won’t be too long after that.’’
