'Don't worry about your debut... mine was much worse!': Chelsea's new boy Saul Niguez reveals Thiago Silva has been comforting him over his troubled start against Aston Villa - by recalling his West Brom horror show last year

Saul Niguez has revealed that his fellow Chelsea teammate Thiago Silva reassured and supported him after his difficult debut against Aston Villa last week.

The Spanish midfielder joined Chelsea on loan from Atletico Madrid and the club have the option to buy him on a permanent deal for £30million next summer.

However, Saul had a tough start to his Premier League career and was substituted at half-time after losing possession of the ball several times throughout the first 45 minutes.
