Confirmed: Ben Chilwell will miss the World Cup

Now it is certain: Ben Chilwell will not be available for the English national team at the World Cup in Qatar. This was announced by Chelsea FC on Saturday. The first fears arose after the Champions League game against Dinamo Zagreb.

Chilwell was forced to leave the stadium on crutches late in the game after being substituted through injury. In-depth investigations have now revealed that the 25-year-old left-back has suffered a "serious injury". Further details were not disclosed.

Signed for over €50m two years ago, Chilwell has faced competition for a place in the starting XI this season. Meanwhile, he missed most of the preseason with a cruciate ligament tear.
