Chelsea star Ben Chilwell shared his heartache on Tuesday night after announcing his father has passed away from a chronic illness.
The Chilwell family have mourned the loss of dad Wayne, whose health condition has not been revealed, with the England defender's sister Alex admitting it had been a 'tough year' for them.
Chilwell paid tribute to Wayne on social media after his passing as he recalled their memories together - including celebrating on the pitch in 2021 after the club's famous Champions League win over Manchester City.
'The reason I am where I am,' he said on Instagram alongside a photo of him driving in the car next to him.
