Kurt Zouma left the field on a stretcher after he was involved in a nasty collision with Petr Cech during Chelsea's Capital One Cup tie at Derby.
The defender was knocked to the floor from a Derby corner and received treatment for seven minutes as the first half drew to a close.
Paramedics were hurried on to the pitch whilst Chelsea's medical team tended to the player as concerned team-mates Cesc Fabregas and Cezar Azpilicueta each grabbed the front of the stretcher.
Zouma was said to have had bleeding around his mouth and his neck was in a protective brace as he left the field. Branislav Ivanovic was sent on by Jose Mourinho to replace the defender as the first half concluded.
The young centre back, who did not need to go hospital, will be available for Monday's trip to Stoke and Mourinho said after the game: ‘He was just a bit dizzy.
