Eden Hazard lasted only 15 minutes in Chelsea's clash with Crystal Palace on Sunday, having pulled out of the game with injury and being replaced by Pedro.
The Belgium international started at Selhurst Park on Sunday but looked to be struggling with a muscle injury for a few minutes before he signalled to the bench that he wanted to come off.
Chelsea have since revealed Hazard twitched his groin after taking a shot minutes before.
The news comes as a blow to newly-installed manager Guus Hiddink, who is now left with Diego Costa as the only fit and reliable option upfront.
Hiddink is still searching for his first win in his second stint as Blues' boss, and will be aiming to put distance between his team and the drop zone at high-flying Crystal Palace.
