Thiago Silva’s role at Chelsea has become even more important after Jorginho left the club this winter.
Silva is largely going to be now wearing the captains armband on a regular basis, with Cesar Azpilicueta likely to be on the bench most games.
Exclusive: Ben Jacobs extensive latest Chelsea column of transfers and other in-house situations!
Silva’s influence has never been questioned, and he has been in training this week having a joke with new signing Mykhailo Mudryk. It appears Silva is suggesting that he ran faster than Mudryk, who we know is super fast!
