@Richw1677 on “X”: I assume Chilwell will start at left-back but
his drop off this season has been alarming. Is that a game time issue or
something else, do you think?

First of all, Rich, I’m not sure Chilwell will start at
left-back. If Luke Shaw is not ready, which seems likely, I can see Kieran
Trippier starting there but again, like Chilwell and Shaw there is a major
injury issue there as well. This position is emerging as a real problem. This
is why Liverpool’s Joe Gomez might find his way into contention.

I do think Chilwell’s loss of form is down to so many injury
absences. He just hasn’t been able to get himself going and certainly did not
do himself justice in the friendlies against Brazil and Belgium.

Ben Chilwell profile

Age: 27

Club: Chelsea

Position: Left Back

What’s their season been like?: Playing time has been
reduced by injuries but has recently seen a return to the pitch. When
fit, Chilwell offers a threat going forwards and defensive reliability, as well as experience.
