Chelsea star Ben Chilwell has revealed that returning to action for England has been a main motivator for getting through his recent injury struggles. The 26-year-old has suffered with some absences over the past two seasons, but has finally made his return to action in recent weeks.
That comes as a huge boost to Graham Potter, who is able to mix and match the left-hand-side of his system after the addition of Marc Cucurella last summer. The manager believes the defender has gotten stronger since coming back from injury over the past month.
“That’s sort of what I’ve been talking about for a while," Potter said earlier this month when asked about Chilwell finding some form. “When you’re not winning, it doesn’t matter, but the likes of Ben [Chilwell], Wesley [Fofana], Ruben [Loftus-Cheek], Reece [James], and Raheem [Sterling] are all getting minutes in the Premier League.
