Thailand national team coach denies leading Hanoi Police; U20 Vietnam has full squad, ready to compete with U20 Australia

Chelsea received shocking news in the midst of a crisis storm

Last weekend, Chelsea lost 0-2 to Tottenham, continuing the unforgettable days under Coach Graham Potter. In the last 15 official matches, Chelsea only won 2 matches, drew 4, lost 9.

In addition to the problem of the attack, Chelsea's defense is no longer solid. In the above 15 matches, Chelsea only kept a clean sheet in 4 matches. Even when the full-back duo Ben Chilwell and Reece James returned, the Blues' defense system did not improve as expected.

Chelsea suffer another heavy loss in the midst of the crisis.

In that context, things got worse for Chelsea when Thiago Silva suffered a serious injury. In the recent loss to Tottenham, the Brazilian center-back had to leave the field after only the first 18 minutes. In an effort to prevent Harry Kane from finishing, Thiago Silva twisted his knee.

Chelsea have confirmed what their fans have been most worried about today: Thiago Silva has suffered knee ligament damage. Although he is lucky not to have ruptured the ligament, the 38-year-old Brazilian defender will be out for at least the next six weeks.

This is a huge loss for Chelsea, because Thiago Silva is their most consistent defender this season. Since the beginning of the season, Thiago Silva has played a total of 21 matches in the Premier League and 6 other matches in the Champions League. He is considered an irreplaceable center-back by both Coach Thomas Tuchel and Graham Potter.
