Zakaria sends message to Chelsea fans after injury concern

Chelsea midfielder Denis Zakaria has assured fans after an apparent injury suffered during his outstanding debut on Wednesday night.

The Juventus loanee struck in the 2-1 Champions League win against Dinamo Zagreb.

The only downside of his evening was when he appeared to be substituted off with a knock and was replaced by Ruben Loftus-Cheek.

But the midfielder has told fans he is fine as he shared his delight with getting on the pitch and the scoresheet.

The Swiss international said on Instagram: "Can't tell you how happy I am about my debut & my first goal for @chelseafc!

"Thank you so much for all the amazing support and your messages.

"And for everyone who's asking - I'm fine and ready for the next mission."
