Chelsea were willing to part ways with Ben Chilwell this summer. But, The Blues were unable to receive any offers due to the full back’s injury concerns. Later, Chilwell was linked with Turkish clubs. He was said to join Fenerbahce on loan. However, the deal now seems to have failed and Chilwell is expected to start training with the first team squad.
Premier League clubs need to submit a squad of 25 players over the age of 21. Enzo Maresca was asked question regarding Ben Chilwell recently in the press conference ahead of the next game. Chelsea boss answered in a calm way and assured that the full back will be back in training.
