Ben Chilwell has sent a positive update on his rehabilitation from injury to followers of Chelsea as he continues his work to return to fitness during the break for the World Cup.
The full-back pulled up injured in added time against Dinamo Zagreb and eventually needed help off the pitch by Chelsea's physios before leaving Stamford Bridge on crutches. Television cameras appeared to catch Chilwell telling teammate Mason Mount that his hamstring had 'popped'
Indeed, Chilwell was not involved in Chelsea's squads against Arsenal, Manchester City or Newcastle, with 18-year-old Lewis Hall slotting in at wing-back for the latter two fixtures. The 25-year-old started a rehabilitation programme with Chelsea's medical department in early November after a scan revealed a 'significant injury'' for the defender.
