Chelsea star Trevoh Chalobah slams referee Stuart Attwell for failing to send off Naby Keita in the Carabao Cup final... as he reveals horror tackle left him needing STITCHES post-game

Chelsea youngster Trevoh Chalobah has revealed he needed stitches in his groin after a horror tackle by Naby Keita in the Carabao Cup final - which was left unpunished by ref Stuart Attwell.

Midway through the second half, and with the score still at 0-0, Keita and Chalobah contested a high ball, which the Liverpool man missed, before planting his studs into his opponent's groin.

Both went down in agony, and Chelsea were given a free-kick - but no further punishment was dished out to Keita despite VAR being in use at Wembley Stadium.
