BREAKING: Chelsea player ruled out for rest of the season after latest injury update
According to latest reports via Goal, Chelsea defender Ben Chilwell is set to undergo knee surgery and is expected to be out until the end of the season. Chilwell suffered an anterior cruciate ligament injury during Chelsea’s 4-0 victory over Juventus in the Champions League in November.
It was hoped that the England international would not have to undergo surgery and could be back in action by January.
However, Chelsea have decided to end the defender’s previous rehabilitation process, according to reports. Thomas Tuchel’s side are said to have come to the conclusion that it is better for Chilwell to go under the knife.
