THE BIGGER PICTURE
The England midfielder has struggled with injury once already this season, missing four league games with a similar muscle issue in August and September. Ancelotti, though, does not believe there is any reason to panic. However, with the likes of Dani Carvajal, Eder Militao and David Alaba already missing, Ancelotti gave a less optimistic verdict on Ferland Mendy, who also went off injured.
