Everton striker Richarlison had to come off during Marco Silva’s side’s last match.
Richarlison ran himself into the ground at Stamford Bridge, as he helped Everton pick up a 0-0 draw.
The Brazilian did not have much in the way of chances, but he still gave Antonio Rudiger and David Luiz a real challenge during the contest.
And Richarlison insists that his injury problem is nothing to worry about.
“There’s no reason to worry about the injury, it is just a small knock, nothing serious. I’d given everything out there [against Chelsea],” he said.
“It was a difficult match and an injury can happen at any time. So I asked the coach to be substituted, to bring on someone who was in better shape than me.
“We worked well as a team and got an important result.”
Richarlison has already made himself at fans’ favourite at Everton since arriving at Goodison Park.
The forward played out wide in Everton’s early fixtures, before being moved into a more central role.
Richarlison has scored six goals in the Premier League already this term, and is building a reputation as one of the most exciting young talents in England.
Everton are next in action after the international break when they take on Cardiff City.
