Chelsea defender Thiago Silva has pointed out two areas that will make the game against AC Milan on Tuesday night tough for the Blues.

Silva picked out the two areas as the defence dominated by former Chelsea defender Fikayo Tomori, who has impressed him since moving to Italy, and the strong threat at AC Milan’s attack, highlighting the role of Rafael Leao and Olivier Giroud in particular.

Silva said: ‘For sure Tomori because I’ve met him and played with him for months before he decided to join Milan. I knew it wouldn’t have been easy for him when you change the country and change the culture. He has actually proven himself to be very good because he has really consolidated his ability and skills. I always say that for a defender the best football school you can have is here in Italy. I’m very happy for him because I see him as a very developed and grown-up player.

‘The AC Milan attack is very impressive, the way they perform, so tomorrow is going to be a very difficult match. It is going to be very difficult for us to defend. We have to be very focused and not let Leao get the ball. It’s not easy if he gets the ball, he can score, but it’s not only him because Giroud is in the box.

‘So it’s a very challenging attack to play against, it’s not going to be. We need to really be focused. I think Leao is one of the best players in their side now, but we have to be careful of the whole squad because a good team is not only one, two or three good players.’
