MAXENCE LACROIX hobbled off clutching his hamstring during Chelsea's Carabao Cup trip to Anfield. The £52million summer signing has started all bar one of the Blues' Premier League games this term. So the sight of him gingerly making his way…
Chelsea defender Maxence Lacroix suffered a suspected hamstring injury during the Carabao Cup fourth-round clash against Liverpool at Anfield.

The match was tied 1-1 at the interval after Morgan Rogers and Gakpo exchanged penalties.
