Thiago Silva injury update shared on Instagram as Chelsea boss Graham Potter plans for Dortmund

Thiago Silva's wife, Belle, has posted an update on the defender's fitness as he recovers from knee ligament damage sustained in the 2-0 loss against Tottenham. Silva missed the first win in six for his side on Saturday and is set to be out for at least four more weeks, with no return likely until after the March international break.

Both goals last weekend were conceded after Silva left the field before half-time. He struggled to play on after Harry Kane landed on him in an attempt to block the striker's shot.

The 38-year-old has remained integral for his side and continues to play more minutes than ever before at Stamford Bridge but could only watch on as Graham Potter's men beat Leeds 1-0 on Saturday. It was the first time Chelsea had won without Silva since October 8.
