Emerson, who has started all four of Chelsea’s Premier League games so far this campaign, was substituted off after only eight minutes during Italy’s 2-1 victory in the Euro 2020 qualifier.
The defender limped off after pulling up when chasing down Norwich City forward Teemu Pukki as Finland looked to counter attack in the early stages of the match.

And there were already reports that Emerson will be replaced in Chelsea’s start...
