Chelsea manager Mauricio Pochettino has revealed that Ben Chilwell is currently in Los Angeles continuing his rehabilitation from a hamstring injury.
The left-back picked up the injury during the third round of the Carabao Cup against Brighton & Hove Albion and has since been on the sidelines.
No update has been provided on him until now. Pochettino today explained the reason behind the club's decision to send him to Los Angeles.
He said: "The plan was to change the scenario for him. That happens in different clubs. When it’s a long period of recovery, sometimes we change the scenarios for them. It’s still difficult to know when he will be back."
In the absence of Chilwell, Marc Cucurella has got the chance to shine from the left-back spot. He has been very consistent for the Blues.
The Spaniard was linked with a move away from the club earlier this summer, but he is now one of the first names on the teamsheet.
