Chelsea defender Christensen hopes Mount injury not serious

Chelsea defender Andreas Christensen hopes Mason Mount's injury isn't serious.

Mount was forced off early in their Champions League defeat to Valencia.

Christensen said, "Mason has been very important for us, he is great for us in our build-up and he is dangerous in front of goal so obviously he was a big loss, but then we have great players to come on so it should not hurt us too much. Hopefully he is not too bad as he is an important player."

On Ross Barkley's late spotkick miss, the Dane added: "We know Ross, he is going to take the next one as well, he always feels confident with penalties, he is one of the best ones which is why he was on the penalty today."
