What happened. Aaron Anselmino was forced off in tears 29 minutes into Chelsea's 3-3 pre-season draw with Johor Darul Ta'zim due to a hamstring issue, the second injury blow of the afternoon.

Mamadou Sarr was pulled out before kick-off after being named in the starting line-up.
Anselmino has faced similar injuries since joining Chelsea in 2024.
He was replaced by Reggie Watson after receiving treatment on the pitch.

The injury may hamper Anselmino's chances of impressing new coach Xabi Alonso ahead of the season.
