Ben Chilwell is excited to return to first-team action with Chelsea having overcome the hamstring injury sustained in November – and the left-back is hopeful the Blues can enjoy a strong second half of the season in the Premier League and Champions League.
It was during the final moments of Chelsea's clash against Dinamo Zagreb – a dead rubber with Graham Potter's side having already qualified for the Champions League knockout stage – that Chilwell suffered a hamstring tear that kept him out of the World Cup in Qatar.
That was a bitter blow for the 26-year-old, who had worked hard to recover from a knee ligament injury sustained the previous campaign. Chilwell has spent the past eleven weeks undertaking his rehabilitation work at Cobham and is closing in on a return to action.
