Chelsea manager Xabi Alonso has revealed that striker Joao Pedro will be sidelined for several weeks due to a thigh injury.
Alonso confirmed the setback while addressing reporters ahead of the Blues’ Carabao Cup encounter with Liverpool.
The Brazilian forward missed Chelsea’s 2-0 Premier League defeat to Tottenham Hotspur last weekend and will also sit out the Liverpool fixture.
Pedro is further expected to miss the league meeting with Manchester United.
“João has suffered a thigh injury, he won’t be available for few weeks,” Alonso said.
