Olivier Giroud required five stitches while making his full debut for Chelsea but his focus is on justifying his departure from Arsenal by securing regular first-team football.
The France striker, 31, impressed during Monday's 3-0 defeat of West Brom at Stamford Bridge, where he created the first of Eden Hazard's two goals before being substituted in the second half.
He had been struggling with a calf injury having already had five stitches for a cut when taking studs to the head, but his manager Antonio Conte expects him to again be fit for Friday's FA Cup fifth-round fixture with Hull.
