Chillwell was replaced by César Azpilicueta at the 71st minute after he looked to be in considerable discomfort. The severity of the injury might be very high or low but whatever it might, Ben Chillwell will definitely not be playing for the English club any more this year.

There is a very high suspicion of an ACL tear and if that ends up to be the case, the English wing back might be out for the entirety of the season as it would take a minimum of six to nine months for recovery.

Not only Thomas Tuchel but also England National team manager will be under a lot of pressure as they will be feeling the absence of Chillwell in their squad because he has been phenomenonal in the left back position and has provided some clinical performance not only for Chelsea but also for the English National team.

Even though Chelsea suffered some major injuries last night against Juventus they did not leave any weak angles to get exploited from the Italian side as they ended the match with a 4-0 scoreline, bagging an easy 3 points to their tally.
