KRC Genk forward Jelle Vossen has been ruled out for a month with a twisted ankle and will miss the UEFA Champions League Group E trip to Chelsea FC on matchday three.
Vossen, 22, fell awkwardly during the 1-0 defeat by RSC Anderlecht in the Belgian First League on Sunday and will face a race to be fit for the visit of Chelsea on 1 November.
Mario Been's side are already without defender Nadson for four weeks after the 26-year-old suffered an ankle injury during the 2-0 loss to Bayer 04 Leverkusen last time out. Genk are bottom of the section with one point from their opening two matches.
