Thiago Silva's wife, Belle Silva, has vented her frustration at a collision her husband was subject to in Chelsea's 2-1 win over RB Salzburg. The 37-year-old defender played a key role against the Austrian side as the Blues booked a place in the Champions League knockout stages.
He's now featured 13 times for the west Londoners across all competitions this season, completing 90 minutes in all but five of Chelsea's possible fixtures. Graham Potter is said to be managing Silva's minutes accordingly amid a congested fixture schedule in order to reduce risk of injury.
But, despite the Blues boss' attentiveness, the Brazil international was subject to a huge injury scare. Silva engaged in an aerial duel with Salzburg forward Roko Simic which saw the defender land awkwardly on his upper back.
