Ben Chilwell

[MoroccanBlue 5,375]

I want to know more about the significance of his tear. The grade is of most importance. If its grade 1 then it was only a few torn fibers, where as a grade 2 is a partial tear. The ACL cannot heal itself if there is a tear so, so more than likely if it is grade 2 it will be needing surgery. 

By the sound of it, it could only be a grade 1 which is absolutely fantastic news.

well, that source is reable?

im looking for more people to say the same but I still didn't find anything...

For what ever reason the club and medical staff will not release the grade of the tear.

Apprantly, he was always expected to train again before any decision was made. Obviously good news that it didn't deteriorate before he got to training but I am not sure too much should be read into this. 

Give it another two weeks and I think we'll know if we have him back in Jan or next season.

should still sign digne not to have to rely on Alonso ever again

I admitted that I wanted chillwell when we was linked with him under Lampard. 

Now that we have him he has done good, but I have never really warm up to him. 

With his injury if we can buy someone else that is upgrade and sell Alonso then we will be set. Chillwell and another one that is better then both will leave us with a good position. 

If only we didn't screw it up with getting lukaku. Sigh.

Expected to return against Tottenham.

Isn't it amazing how much better a player gets when he's out injured and can't play? Anyway I agree with you; if we sign a left back it needs to be an upgrade on both of our current options.

Who would that be? 

Chilwell has been a brilliant signing imo. I did not like him in the first place but he has completely won me over. What should he have done more better during his time here? Has done a massive step up from his time at Leicester. Alonso is so inferior to Chilwell in all aspects of the game, that he is the one to worry about. Sign an upgrade on Alonso and we are set.

signing a upgrade to chilwell is not so easy.

at least, we need to try to sign a player better than alonso and emerson at least

You've got me there. I know @Vesper likes Theo Hernandez but these days I'm not watching enough non Chelsea football to really have a valid opinion. I will observe that in highlight reels he sometimes looks more about the power than the finesse to me. I'm sure someone will probably put me straight on that.

This is the point of disagreement between us I think. Generally I have not been impressed and I believe a reading of forum comments about him would show that across his CFC career to date people here have raised questions about him. Indeed I think it is 'lucky' for Ben that this injury came at the back of a purple patch and so the short-term memories of him are positive.
