Chilwell hasn’t played since the end of September because he hurt his leg badly in the EFL Cup match against Brighton & Hove Albion.

Unfortunately, the England player will have to sit out for a while longer. He probably won’t be able to play again until at least December.

A lot of people were surprised when they learned that the left back would not be spending the next part of his recovery at Chelsea’s Cobham training grounds.

He told media, as reported by football.london, “It was the club’s plan to change things for him because he needs to be out for a while.”

“I’ve seen this happen at Tottenham and Southampton, among other teams. When a player needs a long time to heal, you might want to take them somewhere new.

“To provide, because, to spend 12 hours here every day, it is a fantastic training ground but sometimes the player needs to change the atmosphere to recover in a good way.”

He аlsо sаid, “It’s hаrd tо sаy when he will be bаck.” аt the mоment, he is nоt оn the prаctise pitch. We will wаit fоr him tо return tо see whаt is gоing оn. He needs tо get better аs sооn аs pоssible.

Before getting hurt, Chilwell had a rough start to the season, starting five games and coming on as a replacement twice across all competitions.

This was the 26-year-old’s first start in three and a half weeks after losing his spot on the left wing. He played against Brighton.

Pochettino had been playing Chilwell in a number of different roles, including as a left winger during times when Levi Chilwell was used at full back.
