Confirmed:Ben Chilwell return date confirmed as Thomas Tuchel sent major Chelsea boost amid injury crisis.

 

After suffering an anterior cruciate 

ligament injury, Ben Chilwell has taken 

the next step in his comeback. The injury 

to the left-back occurred during the second

 half of the stunning Champions League

 victory against Juventus in November. 

He was likely to miss the remainder 

of the season, dealing Thomas Tuchel's

 side a severe setback in the Premier League

 title battle and their attempt to reclaim 

Chelsea's European crown. Prior to 

his hiatus, Chilwell appeared 12 times

 for the Blues, assisting on four goals. 

In the early stages of the season, the 25-

year-old was instrumental in much of the

 west London side's success. Marcos Alonso

 has struggled to recreate Chilwell's good

 bond with Reece James. 

Despite the absence of the England international.
