Chelsea goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois has played down concerns over his eye injury by insisting that it does not affect his ability to play.
The 24-year-old was spotted with a heavily bloodshot eye as he sat out of Belgium's 1-1 draw with the Netherlands on Wednesday night.
Courtois's absence sparked rumours about whether his injury would keep him out of action for Chelsea after the international break, but the shot-stopper has eased fears by claiming that he has been dealing with the eye problem for a fortnight.
On Twitter, Courtois wrote: "Everything's ok with my eye, had it for 2 weeks and doesn't effect my goalkeeping."
Chelsea will face Middlesbrough in the Premier League on November 20 before facing Tottenham Hotspur and Manchester City.
