BEN CHILWELL'S World Cup dream with England looks to be over after the left-back appeared to have pulled his hamstring for Chelsea tonight.

The 25-year-old pulled up and collapsed to the floor in injury-time at the end of Chelsea's dead-rubber 2-1 win against Dinamo Zagreb in the Champions League.

The Three Lions ace felt something in his left hamstring and immediately stopped running with just minutes left of the game.

He now appears to be a major doubt for the World Cup - with England's first game less than three weeks away.

Chilwell limped off the pitch at full-time with the aid of two Chelsea's medical staff.

He couldn't put any pressure on his left leg as he was helped down the tunnel at the end of the game.

Chelsea legend Joe Cole said on BT Sport after the match: "Yeah horrible sight for Ben I feel his pain. I had problems at the back end of my career and it is heartbreaking.

"As soon as it happens it's a shooting pain this close to the World Cup the best you can hope for is two or three weeks before you can get back on the grass and with a World Cup selection it's really tough.

"I really feel for him, again in a game where Chelsea were just seeing it out he played a strong team.

"Overall a win three points, a win top of the group for the club, but you do feel for Ben."
