Chelsea midfielder Marco van Ginkel is
expected to be out for between six and nine months after tearing his
anterior cruciate ligament.
The 20-year-old - making only his second Chelsea start following his summer move - went down after a challenge from Alex Pritchard and hobbled off the pitch in the 10th minute.
Van Ginkel, whose season looks to be over, joined Chelsea on a five-year contract from Vitesse after coming through the Dutch club's youth system.
The injury severely hampers the midfielder's chances of making Holland's World Cup squad - he made his international debut last November and was expected to challenge for a place in Louis van Gaal's squad for Brazil.
