Antonio Conte has revealed Andreas Christensen suffered a contusion, not a concussion, and will be available for the game against Arsenal.
Referee Jon Moss ordered Christensen off the pitch in the first half of the Brighton game as the defender appeared to be struggling with a head injury. Christensen clashed with the back of Shane Duffy’s head, but was assessed by the Chelsea medical team and cleared to continue.
"For Andreas it was a simple contusion," Conte said.
"The referee asked him, no? This substitution. But honestly the player did not want to come off. ‘When you have another player like David Luiz, yeah, I decided to make a change. The player is OK. He is available for the next game, for the next training."
