Kelly was forced off just before half-time with a hamstring injury yesterday. As he awaits a scan he told the club's official website that he is hopeful of making a speedy recovery.
"I knew straight away I had injured my hamstring," said the defender.
"I took Scott Parker on down the right and when I took my last touch I felt a pull in my hamstring and there was no way I could carry on.
"I will have the scan and hopefully it won't be too bad.
"I'm usually a quick healer and we have good medical staff at the club so hopefully I will be back soon."
