Thiago Silva could be 'set to miss' Chelsea's crucial Champions League second-leg against Borussia Dortmund... the 38-year-old was forced off in the London derby against Tottenham as Graham Potter's side slumped to another loss

Thiago Silva could miss Chelsea's crucial Champions League second-leg against Borussia Dortmund through injury.

The 38-year-old was forced off in the first-half of the London derby against Tottenham - being replaced by Wesley Fofana.

According to The Times, the Brazil defender will 'be sidelined for at least a week' as Chelsea face a crucial part of their season.

This will come as bad news to all those involved at the club as the veteran defender has consistently been a bright spark during Chelsea's poor run of form.

Silva is therefore set to be a huge miss during the must-win round of 16 second-leg.
