Chelsea's Mendy set for scan on rib injury after colliding with post

Chelsea's Edouard Mendy will undergo a scan for a rib injury with less than a week to go until his side's Champions League final against Manchester City.

The goalkeeper didn't return for the second half of Sunday's 2-1 Premier League defeat at Aston Villa after he suffered the issue when he tried to prevent Bertrand Traore's 43rd-minute opener.

Kepa Arrizabalaga replaced Mendy between the sticks.

"He fell on the frame of the net. He has big pain in his ribs," Chelsea manager Thomas Tuchel said, according to BBC Sport.

"We need to wait until we get home, and we will do some images. Tomorrow we will have an update on what's going on."

He added: "If it's possible, we need to push and do everything, so he is in goal on Saturday."

Chelsea qualified for the Champions League next season despite their final-day defeat at Villa thanks to Leicester City's 4-2 loss to Tottenham Hotspur.

Next weekend's Champions League final in Porto is the club's only chance of silverware in the 2020-21 campaign after Tuchel's side lost to Leicester in the FA Cup final earlier in May.
