    WHAT HAPPENED?

    Silva went down with an apparent issue to his groin just before the 90-minute mark, and Axel Disasi replaced him as the Blues went on to play a 2-2 draw against Unai Emery's side with a bit of drama near the end of stoppage time, after VAR disallowed Disasi's winner.

    WHAT POCHETTINO SAID

    Speaking to the media, Pochettino said: "We need to assess him after tomorrow. It is a pain in his groin, which was similar to Palace."

  • THE BIGGER PICTURE

    Suppose Silva's injury is major enough for him to be unavailable until the end of the season, the Brazilian veteran may well have played his last game for the Blues as he is set to leave the club this summer as a free agent. He has reportedly already reached a verbal agreement with his boyhood club, Fluminense.
