Trevoh Chalobah said he was not hurt to have been left out of Chelsea’s plans at the start of this season, instead choosing to treat it as an opportunity.
The 25-year-old centre-back was among those made to train in a separate group early in the season after being deemed surplus to requirements by Enzo Maresca. He was eventually sent on loan to Crystal Palace but was promptly recalled after Chelsea suffered a rash of defensive injuries.
