After the game, the Blues provided an update on Gusto and Madueke. The manager confirmed that Madueke has a hamstring issue that will keep him out of action for some time. The full-back, on the other hand, did not suffer any injury. Yankuba Minteh's brace and Kaoru Mitoma's strike helped the Seagulls beat Chelsea for the second time in a row in a week's time on Friday.
Speaking at his post-match press conference, the 45-year-old Italian coach said: "Malo is okay. Noni unfortunately has a hamstring problem so unfortunately will be out for a little while."
The West London side will be back in action in the Premier League on February 22 as they take on Aston Villa in a difficult away fixture.
