Ben Chilwell has taken the next step towards recovery after suffering from an anterior cruciate ligament injury. The left-back was dealt the blow back in November during the second half of the impressive Champions League win over Juventus.
He was subsequently expected to miss the rest of the season, handing Thomas Tuchel's side a major setback in the Premier League title race and bid to retain Chelsea's European crown. Chilwell featured 12 times for the Blues prior to his absence, directly contributing toward four goals.
The 25-year-old was central to much of the west London side's success in the early stages of the season. Chilwell welded a strong relationship with Reece James which Marcos Alonso has struggled to replicate.
