Zouma to undergo scan for knee injury

Chelsea’s Kurt Zouma suffered a serious knee injury in the 1-1 draw with Manchester United. 

Guus Hiddink confirmed after the game that Kurt Zouma will undergo MRI scans to determine the extent and severity of the injury. 

Zouma was replaced by Gary Cahill in the 59th minute after his right knee buckled upon landing from an attempt to clear an aerial ball.

Hiddink after the game said: “Tomorrow [I can tell you] more. Everyone has seen it on the TV, it’s a bad injury, but let’s see. It’s a hyperextension and that’s always bad,” the Dutchman said.

“I’m not a doctor, but let’s see tomorrow. Let’s calm down and see what the MRIs will show.”

Jesse Lingard opened the scoring for Manchester Unied before Diego Costa restored parity with a late equalizer.
