Joao Pedro is receiving treatment from a specialist in London as he aims to recover for Chelsea's next fixture. Xabi Alonso's side will face Bournemouth at Stamford Bridge on October 10.
The Brazilian forward felt discomfort following Chelsea's draw with Hull City and subsequently missed training sessions. His injury also ruled him out of a call-up to the Brazilian national team.
The international break has given Pedro the opportunity to stay in London for additional treatment. It's still uncertain whether he will be fit enough to feature against Bournemouth, with a final decision yet to be made.
Losing Pedro would be a significant blow for Chelsea. The forward has been involved in six goals in the first four Premier League matches, scoring three himself. He was named the Premier League Player of the Month for August.
Moreover, during the international break, Chelsea also faced health issues with Reece James, Moises Caicedo, and Cole Palmer. Thus, the Blues may head into the match against Bournemouth with several key absences.
