Tuchel reacts to Chilwell’s return

Chelsea boss Thomas Tuchel has reacted to the return of English defender Ben Chilwell to the team.

This comes after Chilwell was pictured in the Blues training yesterday ahead of their game against Leicester City on Thursday.

While the defender will not start his former side tomorrow, Tuchel expressed his excitement to have him back on the team.

‘Yesterday Ben Chilwell was back in team training which was very good news and a big uplift for everyone,’ added Tuchel.

‘It was very good news to see him back in training but of course, he is out for the match. We are desperate to have Ben back next season because he’s one of our key players.

‘At the same time, we will be very patient with him because it’s a big injury and he’s been out for a long time. We are very excited and looking forward to having him back.’

Chilwell has been out of action for the Blues since last year.
