Mount sparked fears that he could be set for a spell on the sidelines after he was pictured nursing some ice on his knee after the game.
But the 22-year-old reassured fans by playing down any injury concerns ahead of a busy run of games for Thomas Tuchel’s men.
He told Chelsea’s website: “It’s just a little knock.
“A bit of bruising but I’ll be fine. Nothing can stop me.”
Mount’s reveal will come as a huge boost for Chelsea who face Atletico Madrid, Manchester United and Liverpool in their next three games.
The midfielder added: “We spoke a bit about it before the game, saying we need to go into these next three or four weeks really focused.
“We have some massive games coming up that can really push us in the right direction so we’re very excited.
“These are the games we want to play in – big Champions League games, big Premier League games against top clubs so we’re very excited and we’re looking forward to them.”
