Chelsea defender Christensen jets to Milan for face mask fitting

Chelsea defender Andreas Christensen has flown to Milan to have a face mask fitted!

The Danish defender suffered a broken nose due to a clash with Anthony Martial in their game against Manchester United on Monday night.

Christensen caught an elbow from Martial by accident.

And The Athletic suggests he is going to visit a specialist in Italy in midweek to get a face mask fitted for himself.

It will allow him to compete in their upcoming games, which include a key clash with Tottenham Hotspur in the Premier League at the weekend.

The 23-year-old is in good company when it comes to Chelsea players being involved in games with masks on their faces.

The likes of Petr Cech, John Terry, Cesar Azpilicueta and Cesc Fabregas wore face masks at one stage of their Blues careers.
