Tammy Abraham has suffered a great injury after damaging his stomach during Chelsea's Champions League clash with Valencia.

The Chelsea striker landed awkwardly on Ezequiel Garay at the end of the first half and was in obvious pain as he limped off the pitch.

He had to be taken off on a stretcher at the Mestalla before going to hospital instead of receiving treatment in the dressing room.

Joe Cole said in the BT Sport stuido: 'That's a sore one. He's in a lot of pain. Tammy is not the type of lad, it will take a big incident for him not to play, he loves playing football.'

Glenn Hoddle added: 'If it's a hip injury then it's going to be complicated but you just hope it's not internal like a problem with his kidney or something like that but he did look in absolute agony.'

However, the 22-year-old has revealed that he is now not feeling so bad and hoping for good news from a scan and X-ray on Thursday.

"It's much better, much better than when it happened," he told Chelsea TV.

"At the time I was fearful of the worst, obviously, but when I got in [to the changing room] I was able to walk again, move about. So [I'm] thankful. Hopefully it's not too long [out injured].

"Yeah, I hope [it's just bruising]. I'll have a scan tomorrow - or an X-ray, to see what the news is but hopefully it's just bruising because at the end of the day I think it was a knee to my hip area, so hopefully it's nothing too serious."
