This is a huge blow for young Jesse Derry. The young Chelsea winger had his first start in the Premier League marked by a particularly worrying moment during the match against Nottingham Forest. The 18-year-old striker was involved in a violent head collision in the penalty area with defender Zach Abbott, requiring the rapid intervention of medical staff.
The incident interrupted play for several minutes and the Chelsea youngster received treatment directly on the pitch, including the use of oxygen to stabilize him. In an already complicated meeting for Chelsea, quickly trailing by the score, this episode further darkened an afternoon which promises to be complicated for the Blues, already trailing by the score.
