Chelsea have major Ben Chilwell injury fear as star’s season could be over
Chelsea are worried that Ben Chilwell could be sidelined for the rest of the season after picking up a knee injury in Tuesday’s win over Juventus, according to reports. The England defender was left unable to continue during the closing stages of the match and needed to be helped down the tunnel by Chelsea’s medical staff.
Chilwell appeared to jar his leg with just 19 minutes remaining at Stamford Bridge and was swiftly replaced by Cesar Azpilicueta.
Chelsea went on to register a convincing 4-0 win over Juventus, with Trevoh Chalobah, Reece James, Callum Hudson-Odoi and Timo Werner among the goals.
However, the Blues are said to be fearing the worst for Chilwell, who has made 10 appearances in all competitions this season.
They believe the England defender may have ruptured his anterior cruciate ligament and could be poised to miss the rest of the campaign, according to The Sun.
