Bosingwa limped off in the first half of Chelsea's 4-0 win against Guangzhou Pharmaceutical yesterday after feeling a sharp pain as he went running after the ball.

The Portugal right-back, who joined from Porto for £16.2million this summer, was making his debut but now there are concerns over his fitness with the start of the season just three weeks away.

Bosingwa: Short debut for the Portuguese

If the 25-year-old needs some time off to rehabilitate, the club will consider sending him back to their Cobham treatment room to join Didier Drogba, who missed the tour with a knee injury as speculation grows that he may quit the club before the first game of the season against Portsmouth.

Bosingwa certainly didn't look in good condition as he arrived at the team hotel in Macau and was seen to be hobbling.

Manager Luiz Felipe Scolari said: 'The doctor will see him in the night to check for more details and after that we will discuss the idea if it is possible for him to stay with us or fly back tomorrow.'
