Watching the premier league game of Liverpool vs Chelsea today, there was a point during the game that Chelsea had two players injured at the same time.

The commentator mentioned that if there was two players from the same team injured they didn't need to leave the pitch before returning. But then the referee made them do so. What is the rule that governs this instance? Seems unfair that the game would restart with one team down to 9, albeit briefly.
