Chelsea suffer double injury blow as willian kovacic limp out of fa cup tie with liverpool
It looks like Chelsea have suffered a double injury blow in their FA Cup tie against Liverpool. According to reports, both Willian and Mateo Kovacic had to limp out of the match with injuries.
Willian, who has been a key player for Chelsea this season, was forced off the pitch in the 64th minute with a suspected hamstring strain. He was replaced by Callum Hudson-Odoi, who made his first appearance for the club in the FA Cup.
Kovacic, who has been a regular starter for Chelsea in midfield, also had to leave the pitch in the 77th minute with a suspected ankle injury. He was replaced by Ross Barkley, who came on to try and help Chelsea see out the match.
The injuries are a major blow for Chelsea, who were already without several key players due to injury. The club will be hoping that the injuries are not too serious and that both Willian and Kovacic will be back in action soon.
In the meantime, Chelsea will have to rely on their other players to step up and help the team through this difficult period. The club has a lot of talent and depth, so it will be interesting to see how they respond to these injuries.
It's worth noting that the FA Cup is a competition that Chelsea has won several times in the past, so they will be hoping to make a deep run in the tournament despite these injuries.
