‘Of course, it’s difficult’ – Ben Chilwell opens up on being bombed out by Chelsea before Crystal Palace lifeline

BEN CHILWELL refused to let membership of Chelsea’s ‘bomb squad’ drag him down.

The defender was frozen out completely by boss Enzo Maresca this season but kept his head up high in order to secure a move away.

Full-back Chilwell is now on loan at Crystal Palace and one win away from Wembley in the FA Cup semi finals – a huge turnaround from the dark days in isolation at Stamford Bridge.
