Chelsea feel confident that Romelu Lukaku has avoided a major injury after he conducted a series of scans on Thursday , with hopes high that he will miss just the next two or three weeks.
The 28-year-old striker has suffered swelling but hasn't had any major ligament damage to his right ankle after a foul from Lasse Nielsen in the Blues's 4-0 win over Malmo on Wednesday night.
The next steps involve how the £97.5 million ($136m) signing from Internazionale will respond to treatment in the next few days and Thomas Tuchel will give a further update Frisay in his press conference.
"Romelu twisted his ankle with the foul in the box and Timo has a hamstring injury," Tuchel said Wednesday night. "It will take a while for both of them. We need more examinations to be more precise but they will be out for some matches."
Furthermore, Lukaku's agent Federico Pastorello spoke to SkySports about his client's injury: "I was very worried because Romelu is a player who really wants to play and the fact he stayed lying on the pitch so long after the penalty, it doesn't look good to me because he is someone who immediately stands up.
