Blues goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois will miss Belgium’s friendly against Russia on Tuesday.
Courtois played the World Cup qualifying draw against Greece on Saturday and has been diagnosed with a hip problem.
This has made the 24-year-old a doubt for Chelsea’s next game against Crystal Palace on Saturday, according to Sky Sports.
Although HLN journalist Kristof Terreur, it’s just a “minor hip problem” and the goalkeeper will be available for next weekend’s Chelsea match against Crystal Palace.
Courtois (fluid accumulation hip) has been struggling with a minor injury for a while. #CFC asked the Belgian FA not to take any risk. https://t.co/5d9ewDyiDr
