Chelsea forward Callum Hudson-Odoi has suffered a potentially serious Achilles injury, according to Gianfranco Zola.
The 18-year-old winger was named in Maurizio Sarri's starting line-up for the Easter Monday clash at Stamford Bridge, but was forced off after 41 minutes after injuring his right leg.
Hudson-Odoi was chasing down Charlie Taylor in the Burnley half when he pulled up after appearing to roll his ankle while sprinting.
After collapsing to the ground in agony, the 18-year-old picked himself up. But just minutes later, it was soon clear that his evening was over as he signalled to the bench and was replaced by Pedro.
The teenager had to be helped off the pitch by the Chelsea medical staff, and was applauded by the Matthew Harding stand as he slowly made his way around the pitch.
The England international could be seen struggling to put any weight on his right foot unaided, and is an untimely blow for the youngster after making his fourth Premier League start in a row.
Following the match, Zola - who was speaking to Sky Sports given that Sarri was sent off in injury time - offered a gloomy prognosis of Hudson-Odoi's injury.
Sarri's assistant coach said: "It looks a serious thing, before I can tell you we have to wait until tomorrow but it's not looking good. It's a problem on his Achilles tendon."
With Willian also missing from Monday's matchday squad as a precaution, it gives Sarri a selection headache ahead of the final fixtures of the season.
It is likely that Hudson-Odoi will now miss Sunday's crucial top-four showdown away at Manchester United, and he could be a doubt for the Europa League semi-final first leg against Eintracht Frankfurt on May 2.
That leaves Eden Hazard and Pedro as the only fully fit wingers for Sarri to choose from heading into the business end of the campaign.
