Chilwell has been struggling with injuries since he arrived at the club, but he’s also made himself a very important player in the squad.
Ironically it was Frank Lampard who signed Chilwell at Chelsea during his first spell as manager at the club, and now he has the reigns once again!
Good news, He is a fantastic wing back, He is needed to help turn things around all we need is a bit of grit and aggression especially at times like this and our class will show through.
