The Englishman has been in-and-out of the starting line-up for the Blues this term. He picked up a hamstring issue in the closing stages against Brighton last week and it seems a bad one.

Mauricio Pochettino recently revealed that Chilwell could be out for a while and the Blues have now confirmed that the former Leicester man will be sidelined for two months.

Chelsea are well covered in the left-back spot this season. Despite Chilwell's injury, they have Levi Colwill , Marc Cucurella and Ian Maatsen to operate from the position.

However, the fans will be bitterly disappointed by Chilwell's setback, considering the Englishman is the best attacking left-back in the first-team squad at the moment.

Alongside Chilwell, right-back Reece James is also on the sidelines at the moment with a hamstring injury of his own. This has limited the club's creativity from out wide.
