Ben Chilwell sends heartfelt Chelsea message after handing Graham Potter major boost

Chelsea made it three successive clean sheets last night with a 0-0 draw against Fulham. The Blues couldn't find a winning goal but their defensive security has continued to improve under Graham Potter and will be bolstered by the return of Ben Chilwell.

The left-back returned to action at Stamford Bridge last night after missing the previous three months. Chilwell suffered a knock in the Champions League group stage game over Dinamo Zagreb, with television cameras catching him telling Mason Mount that his hamstring had 'popped'.

Chilwell subsequently missed the World Cup in Qatar and has gradually recovered at Cobham since Christmas. The 26-year-old was named on the substitutes bench and replaced Marc Cucurella in the 84th minute to see out the London derby.
