Matt Law of the Telegraph is well connected at Chelsea and just left a message that we’ve been dreading since last night.
Ben Chilwell was replaced in the second half after sustaining a knee injury, and the club appear to fear the left-back has an anterior cruciate ligament damage and could miss the rest of the season.
The news will be confirmed later in the day pending a full medical examination at the training site.
Chilwell It took a while to fight his way back into the team after a slow start to the season after the European Championship, but he has been in top form for the past few weeks and has played almost every point in his Chelsea career.
It’s a little particularly painful when such an injury occurs in a game that Chelsea were so dominant in, and just like they put in top gear in a promising season.
