According to the source, Ben Chilwell was injured in the match of the 6th round of the Champions League group stage against Dynamo Zagreb. The football player was forced to leave the field at the end of the second half. The defender left the stadium on crutches.

Chilwell underwent a thorough medical yesterday, after which the defender was given the final diagnosis of a muscle tear. Thus, the recovery of the Englishman will take several months.
