Chelsea midfielder Mason Mount could reportedly be available for this weekend's Premier League clash with Liverpool despite picking up an ankle injury against Valencia on Tuesday night.

The 20-year-old was forced off in the 20th minute of his team's 1-0 defeat after picking up the problem in a challenge with Valencia's Francis Coquelin.

Mount immediately emerged as a huge doubt for Chelsea's league fixture against table-topping Liverpool at Stamford Bridge on Sunday afternoon.

However, according to The Sun, the Blues are hopeful that the issue is not as bad as first feared, and the England international could yet be involved in the clash with Jurgen Klopp's side.

Mount has scored three times in seven appearances for Frank Lampard's side this season having returned to the club over the summer following an impressive loan spell at Derby County.
