The Blues managed to avoid a surprise exit in the fourth-round tie as they came from a goal behind to beat Plymouth at Stamford Bridge.
The League One side took the lead in the first half through Macaulay Gillesphey, before Cesar Azpilicueta’s flick got the hosts level.
Then in extra time, Marcos Alonso found the back of the net to give Chelsea the lead, but Kepa Arrizabalaga bailed his team out of trouble when he saved Ryan Hardie’s spot-kick.
Mount was substituted in the first half of extra time,after picking up a knock, and Michels, who took on media duties to the absence of Thomas Tuchel, is hoping the midfielder’s injury isn’t serious.
‘He felt an injury in extra time with this shot,’ said Michels. ‘He realised quick he felt pain and so we took him off.
‘There will be further exams. Hopefully, it’s not too bad but I can’t promise what the situation is.’
On Hakim Ziyech and Cesar Azpilicueta, Michels added: ‘Hakim had a bit of a problem and Azpi with his hamstring I wouldn’t say they are injuries but we have a few muscular problems.
‘Hopefully they are only little ones so they are back in training tomorrow or Monday.’
The Blues are due to fly out to Abu Dhabi for the Club World Cup tonight, with the competition set to take place next week.
