Chelsea’s Kurt Zouma to undergo scan on knee injury amid fears defender’s season is over

Chelsea defender Kurt Zouma will undergo a scan on his knee today after suffering a horrific injury against Manchester United on Sunday.

The 21-year-old was left screaming in agony after landing awkwardly on his right knee in the 58th minute at Stamford Bridge.

Guus Hiddink, the Chelsea interim manager, admitted after the game the injury looked ‘bad’, but would not speculate on how long the centre-back might be out.

Hiddink told Sky Sports: “Tomorrow we will know more, but if you have this injury it’s bad. Let’s see. It’s a hyperextension and that’s always bad. I had this problem once and it hurts very much. I am not a doctor, let’s wait and see what the MRIs will show.”
