There is some good news coming in on this Wednesday afternoon as Chelsea prepare to take on Leeds United in the premier league tonight.
Ben Chilwell has been out of action for most of the season and he has been a huge miss.
Sources: Chelsea eyeing Benoît Badiashile and Edmund Tapsoba for defender reinforcements.
Slowly but surely over the last few months he has been recovering from his injury and trying to stay positive about it all after successful surgery.
Thomas Tuchel has missed his left wing-back immensely, but it wont be long at all now before we get to see him back out on the pitch for Chelsea. And according to the latest update on the situation from the boss himself, that will be sooner now rather than later. But this season will come too soon.
In fact, Tuchel has told Chelsea’s 5th Stand App, as cited below by Absolute Chelsea, that Chilwell has been training again with the Chelsea youth teams and it won’t be long before he is back in full senior training.
Thomas Tuchel:
"We are expecting that [return next season], nothing else. There are no expectations towards this season, we will not rush things. It is too important that the knee gets it’s time to heal. Ben knows it is important that we do not take risks now"

Thomas Tuchel:
"We expect him in shape and to have his best energy for the preparation [for next season] in July and then hopefully he can find his form back, because you never know with a big injury. We are so happy he is back."
