Kai Havertz hit a hat-trick as Chelsea thumped Brentford in a friendly yesterday.

But Havertz's treble was overshadowed by an injury scare for Wesley Fofana as Chelsea beat Brentford 5-1 in a friendly behind closed doors.

Centre-back Fofana "looked upset" as he went off crocked just a week before the Blues resume their Premier League campaign at home to Bournemouth on December 27.

But the extent of the former Leicester star's problem has not been revealed.

Meanwhile, Reece James confirmed his recovery from a knee injury that kept the Chelsea wing-back out of England's World Cup squad.

James played an hour of the warm-up game against the Bees, which was played over THREE 45-minute periods.

But Blues' midfielder Mason Mount was missing following the Three Lions' mentally and physically exhausting run to the quarter-finals in Qatar.

Most of Chelsea's World Cup stars are thought to be back in training.
