Chelsea confirm Ben Chilwell is expected to miss the World Cup after scan showed he suffered a 'significant' hamstring injury... dealing Gareth Southgate another huge blow just days before he names his Qatar squad

Chelsea have confirmed that Ben Chilwell has been ruled out of the 2022 World Cup after his scan confirmed that he will be sidelined for a lengthy period of time.

Defender Chilwell limped off with a hamstring injury during the closing stages of Chelsea’s Champions League win over Dinamo Zagreb.

The England left-back has since gone for a scan and the club have confirmed the extent of his injury, meaning he will miss out on heading off to Qatar, and potentially even a return before the Premier League resumes on Boxing Day.
