Ben Chilwell not in Chelsea’s plans despite Renato Veiga’s exit

The England international has made just one appearance under Enzo Maresca, with their efforts to sell him over the summer not coming to fruition.

Despite the clear chance for him to return to the fold at Stamford Bridge, Graeme Bailey has told The Chelsea Chronicle the plan is still for Chilwell to depart the club in January

He said: “The plan is still for Chilwell to go within the next week. I believe they will want to bring another option in. It’s back to where they were pre-Veiga.

“I’ve asked Chelsea will Chilwell stay and get a look in. They’ve said that isn’t the case at the moment. Does it change next week? Possibly, but I believe they are looking to bolster that left-hand-side. It’s not an emergency but it weakens the squad.”
