Chelsea striker Tammy Abraham is upbeat his injury suffered in Valencia isn't serious.

Abraham suffered a painful hip injury during Chelsea's Champions League clash with Valencia.

The England striker landed awkwardly on Ezequiel Garay at the end of the first half and was in obvious pain as he limped off the pitch.

He had to be taken off on a stretcher at the Mestalla, but while initial reports suggested he had gone to hospital, the 22-year-old received treatment inside the dressing room.

The striker said after the 2-2 draw, "It's much better. At the time I was fearful of the worst.

"I got in and was able to walk again, move about, so I'm thankful and hopefully it's not too long.

"I hope so [bruising]. I'll have a scan or x-ray tomorrow to see what the news is but hopefully it is just bruising. It was a knee to my hip area, so hopefully it's nothing too serious."
