Chelsea midfielder Chalobah out of action for Burnley

Chelsea midfielder Nathaniel Chalobah is out for up to two weeks after suffering an injury to his windpipe.

Burnley's 19-year-old Chelsea loanee took a blow to the throat in a Premier League Under 21 game against Hull City on Tuesday.

"He got a really bad knock and the swelling closed up the breathing pathway," said Burnley boss Sean Dyche.

"It's a strange injury but a nasty one."
