Expected to undergo tests Sunday
Pedro (undisclosed) is expected to undergo tests Sunday to determine the extent of his injury, manager Xabi Alonso told media Saturday. "We don't know yet because he has a lot of fluid, so he felt it yesterday and we need to wait probably till tomorrow to do the test and to know the whole situation and the whole seriousness of the injury and we will know soon enough."
Analysis: Losing Pedro is a huge blow for Chelsea, as the Brazilian striker has five goals and three assists in six league starts this season. Sunday's tests will determine how long he'll be sidelined. With Pedro likely to miss some time, Danny Welbeck could lead the line in Chelsea's coming matches.
Missing from squad
Joao Pedro was left out of the squad for Saturday's match against Tottenham because of an injury that is being assessed, according to coach Xabi Alonso, per Sky Sports. "Yesterday in training he felt something, and at the moment he has some liquid, so we have to do some tests to know how big the injury is. It's disappointing, but we need to carry on."
Analysis: Joao Pedro misses Saturday's derby against Tottenham with an injury that is still being assessed, a significant blow for Chelsea as he is their top scorer in the Premier League with five goals. Coach Xabi Alonso has responded by moving Morgan Rogers into a makeshift center-forward role, with Geovany Quenda making his first Premier League start. Further details on the forward's injury should give a clearer picture of whether he faces a longer spell out.
