Chelsea star Thiago Silva has posted an update on his recovery from injury to social media as the star begins to ramp up his return to action. The Brazilian suffered a knock to the knee in last month's 2-0 defeat to Tottenham, resulting in an early walk down the tunnel in the London derby.
There were concerns for the 38-year-old, considering he was unlikely to leave the pitch unless the injury was a real problem. It was later revealed that Silva would be out for six-weeks in a huge blow to Graham Potter, who has been under severe pressure as Blues boss.
The difficult loss of Silva was underlined in the reaction of the head coach when the defender signed a new deal last month, saying: "[I am] delighted to hear the news of Thiago extending. Fantastic player, fantastic person, for us very important on the pitch, very important off the pitch."
