chelsea<\/span> Forward Jamie Gittens will be out for an extended period with a torn hamstring.<\/p>\n

Gittens was injured in last week’s game against West Ham and missed the second leg of the English League Cup. Semi-final vs Arsenal<\/span> on tuesday. <\/p>\n

Coach Liam Rosenior on Thursday did not say when he would recover.<\/p>\n

“Unfortunately, it’s a bit more of a long-term outlook for him,” Rosenior said. “He has injured his hamstring, which is really unfortunate for him and will be a big miss for us as well. I haven’t had a chance to work with him for long, but I know his career and how good a player he is, so this is a big loss. It’s too early to say how long he’ll be out.”<\/p>\n

Pedro Neto and Reece James will be assessed ahead of Saturday’s Premier League game against Wolverhampton. <\/p>\n

Both players missed the game against Arsenal due to a condition known as knock.<\/p>\n

The good news for Chelsea is that Cole Palmer and Estevao, who only featured as substitutes against Arsenal, have been confirmed to be available to start against Wolverhampton. <\/p>\n
