Ben Chilwell insists he is about to recover from a heel after completing his time at Chelsea.
The left-back has joined Chelsea from Leicester City on a 50 million-pound deal, signing a five-year contract with the Blues.
Chilwell Frank Lampard’s first goal this summer after crossing the ranks of Fox’s youth and establishing himself as one of the most productive sidelines in the Premier League.
The 23-year-old, a mainstay of Brendan Rodgers’ team, missed the final weeks of the 2019/20 season rescheduled due to a heel injury.
With the start of the new Premier League crusade in just over two weeks, Chilwell has presented an update on his recovery from injury.
“I feel good,” he told the club’s website. “The injury heals very well and I’ve done a lot of exercise over the last 4 or five weeks.”
Chilwell is Chelsea’s third summer primary recruit after adding Ajax Hakim Ziyech and RB Leipzig striker Timo Werner to their ranks.
The Englishman is expected to go straight into Lampard’s starting line-up and it looks like it will cause some exciting days of return passes in Chelsea.
Former Paris Saint-Germain captain Thiago Silva will reach an agreement with Chelsea once his medical check-up is complete and the headquarters will soon be announced.
Chelsea has pointed out Bayer Leverkusen to point out striker Kai Havertz, who is expected to land in London shortly.
