Mason Mount 'to have scan on a thigh problem, but Chelsea remain hopeful he will be able to face Aston Villa on Sunday'... with the Blues desperate to avoid another setback after losing N'Golo Kante and Reece James to injury

Mason Mount is set to undergo a scan on a thigh problem, but Chelsea are still hopeful that he will be fit enough to play against Aston Villa on Sunday, according to reports.

The midfielder came off at half time in Chelsea's 2-0 win against AC Milan on Tuesday after winning a penalty and providing an assist for Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang before the break.

It has now been reported that he missed training on Friday, and has been sent for further assessment on his thigh, as reported by The Athletic.
