What is the latest update on Pedro’s injury – when will the Chelsea star return?

CHELSEA beat Thessaloniki 1-0 to maintain their 100 per cent record and also kick off their Europa League campaign in style.
The 31-year-old Spanish winger looked to have hurt his shoulder in an ugly clash with PAOK goalkeeper Alexandros Paschalakis at the end of the game.
He needed lengthy treatment at the Toumba Stadium with the suspicion being that he had suffered a dislocation.

So, what is the latest on Pedro?

Chelsea manager Maurizio Sarri has delivered a positive update on the player's condition.
The Italian Sarri allayed fears over the extent of Pedro’s injury, claiming  the problem is "probably not a very serious injury".
When is Pedro likely to return?
This is not exactly clear but, if Sarri's initial thoughts are correct Pedro won't be out for too long.
It seems unlikely he will play at West Ham on Sunday and could miss Wednesday's Carabao Cup trip to Liverpool.
But he will no doubt be targeting the Premier League showdown with Liverpool at Stamford Bridge on Saturday, September 29 for a return to arms.Three goals in five Premier League appearances under Sarri this season suggest that Chelsea will be glad to see Pedro back as soon as possible.
