Chelsea fear Cesc will miss crunch Man City clash

Chelsea could lose Cesc Fabregas for their Premier League clash with Manchester City this weekend.

Cesc was forced off in Chelsea's Capital Cup semi-final win over Liverpool.

The midfielder collided with Blues team-mate John Terry at the beginning of the second half and was replaced by Ramires. He headed straight down the tunnel to receive treatment on a hamstring problem.

Filipe Luis and match-winner Branislav Ivanovic also picked up knocks.

"Branislav was able to continue but the others weren't," said Blues boss Jose Mourinho.

"Filipe Luis came off with a calf problem and Fabregas reported a tight hamstring. Fabregas said he wasn't yet injured but that he would be soon if he continued."
