Christensen escapes serious injury but Chelsea's Emerson faces long spell on the sidelines

Frank Lampard had mixed news on the injury front as Andreas Christensen and Emerson Palmieri are set to miss Chelsea's Carabao Cup match against Grimsby Town on Wednesday.

Christensen's injury is described as 'not too severe', however, and Goal understands that he is hoping to return to face Brighton at the weekend after being given the all-clear by club doctors.

Unfortunately, Lampard isn't expecting Emerson back until mid-October after he suffered a thigh injury – a recurrence of a previous issue that had been aggravated due to returning to the pitch too soon.
