Chelsea's weekend defeat to Manchester City just got a whole lot worse.

The Blues went down 1-0 to Kevin De Bruyne's strike at Stamford Bridge on Saturday, having lost Alvaro Morata to a hamstring tear in the first half.

And now it has been confirmed that the in-form Spaniard will miss the next six weeks of Blues matches , with the Spanish Football Federation confirming the blow as he was ruled out of their next two World Cup qualifiers.

It isn't news that has gone down well with Blues fans, who have been reacting with dismay.

With the likes of Michy Batshuayi and Pedro around though, is it really that bad?

Maybe we should ask this man?
