Chelsea have confirmed that striker Salomon Kalou will be out for around two weeks after sustaining a tear against Blackburn on Wednesday.

The 24-year-old suffered a minor tear to his upper left thigh as the Blues went out of the Carling Cup on penalties at Ewood Park.

The Ivorian scored in the quarter-final clash to take his goal tally to four for the season.

But he is now set to be out for about two weeks, which would see him miss the forthcoming fixtures against Manchester City, Apeol Nicosia and Everton, as well as possibly Portsmouth on 16th December.
