Chelsea have confirmed that defender Thiago Silva suffered damage to his knee ligaments in Sunday's 2-0 defeat at Tottenham in the Premier League.
A club statement released on Tuesday morning read: "Having sustained a knee injury during the first half of Sunday’s match against Tottenham Hotspur, Thiago underwent further assessment and a scan on his return to the training centre on Monday.
"Scan results from those assessments have confirmed damage to Thiago’s knee ligaments and he will now work closely with the club’s medical department during his rehabilitation to return to action as soon as possible."
Reports suggest he could be sidelined for up to six weeks.
