Chelsea are waiting to hear the extent of Kurt Zouma's injury but boss Guus Hiddink admitted it looks "bad".

Zouma was carried off with a serious-looking knee injury during the second half of Chelsea's 1-1 draw against Manchester United and is expected to have a scan on Monday. 

The centre-half's right knee bent backwards on landing after an aerial challenge in the 55th minute of the Super Sunday meeting at Stamford Bridge.

The 21-year-old was in obvious pain as he was treated on the pitch by the Chelsea medical staff, who strapped up the joint before he was carried down the tunnel.

Hiddink has started Zouma in every game since returning to the club as interim manager in December and said the club will know more after an MRI scan. 

"Tomorrow [Monday] we will know more," Hiddink said of Zouma's injury.

"But if you have this injury then it's bad. Let's see. It's a hyper-extension and that's always bad. I had the same problem once and it hurts a lot. We will see tomorrow."
