Jose Mourinho has confirmed Thibaut Courtois needs surgery on his right knee and faces a lengthy spell on the sidelines.
Courtois suffered the injury during a training session at Cobham this week and Mourinho admits he is unsure how long the goalkeeper will be unavailable for.
"Courtois was injured in a training session with the goalkeepers and I cannot tell you much, but I can tell you that he needs surgery in his right knee," Mourinho said.
"As a consequence of that he will be out for quite a long time. I cannot be at this moment more specific about the injury or the time he will be out."
Asked if he could give a rough idea how long the Belgium international would be out for, Mourinho replied: "No, I don't want to go in that direction. I just know that he will be out for some time.
"I will wait for [Chelsea medical director] Doctor Biosca to be more specific after surgery and I think today [Friday] we will be ready to give some more information.
