Alonso was not believed to have had any difficulties with injury before the match and the news will come as a setback to the league leaders.

Antonio Conte is already without goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois, who didn’t travel up to Manchester after suffering an ankle injury.

Asmir Begovic starts in the Belgian’s place with goalkeeper Eduardo promoted to the bench.
