According to BBC Sport, Chelsea defender Maxence Lacroix suffered a serious hamstring injury during the Carabao Cup match against Liverpool, which could sideline him until January. The 26-year-old France international was injured while sprinting to block a shot late in the first half of the game.

Manager Xabi Alonso has indicated that Lacroix will be out for several weeks, likely missing matches until after the upcoming international break. This injury is a significant setback for Chelsea, as Lacroix has been a regular starter since his £52 million transfer from Crystal Palace.

Lacroix has featured in all but one of Chelsea's 11 matches this season across all competitions, making his absence a challenge for Alonso's defensive options.
