Chelsea Considering Signing A Leftback Amids Chillwells Injury

 The left back could have been out for the rest of the season with a knee injury. However, his partial ACL tear is healing, and football.

london reports that he is already doing light jogging and fitness work. 

 Tuchel hopes that he can have Chilwell back with the squad as soon as possible. 

 "First, we must be sure what we do with Ben," Tuchel told reporters. 

 "Then we decide if we go for internal solutions and if we trust that we can overcome this period. 

 "Everything depends on Ben Chilwell and how long he is out. Then on the alternatives, [we can think] if there is something to do, if there is a chance to do something.

 "But we did not start this process because we want to protect ourselves and not lose focus on the most important things.

The most important things right now are Ben and Marcos. From there we go." 

 He added: "Having a look at players and it being possible to get them in winter, there's a big gap between these two situations.

 "The best option would be that Ben continues his positive evaluation. He is in a good place mentally and physically. He did some running. Everything looks good, so hopes are still up. But we cannot confirm [that he returns in January]."
