Chelsea’s defender Ben Chilwell has sustained a “significant” hamstring injury, and there is currently no specified timeline for his return, according to Blues manager Mauricio Pochettino. Chilwell underwent a scan following the injury that forced him to leave the field late in the EFL Cup match against Brighton on Wednesday.
Chelsea is already dealing with the absence of Reece James, who is sidelined with a thigh issue until after the international break.
“When they are in their best form, they are among the finest full-backs in the world,” commented Pochettino. “At any club, when key players are absent, they are sorely missed. If the question is whether we miss them, the answer is, of course. Reece is an exceptional player, and [Chilwell] as well.”
