Chelsea have suffered a double injury blow in the first half of this evening's Premier League clash against Manchester City, with Raheem Sterling and Christian Pulisic both limping off.
England international Sterling retained his place in the starting lineup for Graham Potter's side, but within two minutes of the contest was down on the floor and looking towards the bench.
Sterling clutched at his hamstring during a challenge with Man City defender John Stones, before limping off and briefly testing the injury out on the sidelines.
However, the former Man City forward decided that he could not go on, being replaced by Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang after only five minutes of the match at Stamford Bridge.
Sterling was soon joined in the treatment room by Pulisic, who was also on the end of a Stones challenge, this time inside the area.

Like Sterling, Pulisic spent time off the field determining whether or not he felt comfortable enough to continue, but was eventually brought off by Potter, being replaced by 19-year-old Carney Chukwuemeka.
The issues add to Potter's injury list after Mason Mount was forced to miss the game due to a knock he picked up in training.
The Blues are also currently without Reece James, N'Golo Kante, Edouard Mendy, Ben Chilwell, Wesley Fofana and Armando Broja due to injuries.
Both players' initial instincts that they might be able to play on suggest that their problems are not too serious, although they will now undergo scans to determine the full extent of their respective issues.
