Mason Mount may miss England's World Cup qualifiers next week owing to inflamed wisdom teeth, according to Chelsea manager Thomas Tuchel.

Mount was unable to participate in the European champions' victories over Newcastle and Malmo this week owing to illness.

Tuchel revealed that the 22-year-weight old's loss was caused by an infection in his wisdom teeth.

"It's a tricky one; he was ill but the reason is his wisdom teeth," said Tuchel.

"He was back in training yesterday and today. He lost a bit of weight, he cannot eat properly. So he takes medication, and let's see.

"He's in the squad for tomorrow, and can play some minutes.

"But we will need to wait for the reaction because it seems like a proper treatment has to be done."

Mount will be in the Chelsea squad for Saturday's Premier League match against Burnley at Stamford Bridge, but he is unlikely to start and may need dental treatment.
