England foreigner Ben Chilwell’s status has been updated, and this surprises Chelsea fans.
Chilwell arrived at Stamford Bridge in the summer moving window, with manager Frank Lampard allegedly wasting confidence in the defensively fragile Marcos Alonso.
Leicester City’s modeler injured the season, but controlled to get back in shape and eventually became a vital figure in the Blues baseline.
That’s why Chelsea enthusiasts will have worried that he will object by limping to Belgium, with Henry Winter’s tweet doing little to allay his fears.

While Chilwell is still being treated by English doctors, he believes he is highly unlikely to play against Iceland, so Winter raises a smart point: why didn’t he go back to Chelsea?
Unless the damage caused isn’t serious enough to exclude him from tomorrow’s game, it turns out he’ll keep you unnecessarily in camp.
It is transparent precisely what state Chilwell is in, but with Chelsea facing Newcastle on Saturday’s kick-off, Lampard wants an explanation about it as soon as possible.
Sky Sports reports that Chilwell is back in training, but it is unclear whether he will have compatibility to play. If so, why is he still in England? Tomorrow’s game means nothing to e-parties, why take the risk?
None of this makes sense, and it will have to be incredibly frustrating for Chelsea fans.
