Africa-Press – Ghana. <\/strong><\/span>Chelsea have reportedly been dealt a major blow with the reports that Ben Chilwell will require knee surgery.<\/p>\n

The left wing-back, who was arguably in the best form of his career at the time, suffered an ACL injury on November 23 against Juventus in the Champions League.<\/p>\n

Following an initial evaluation, the Chelsea medical team decided to wait six weeks to see if the issue could be remedied without the need for surgery.<\/p>\n

However, football.london reports that the England international has been informed that he faces a lengthy period on the sidelines.<\/p>\n

According to the report, a second assessment was conducted on Monday, with the conclusion that the 25-year-old would require surgery.<\/p>\n

This development effectively eliminates Chilwell from contention for the remainder of the season, forcing Chelsea head coach Thomas Tuchel to seek a backup during the winter transfer window.<\/p>\n
