Thiago Silva (Chelsea), injured in the left knee, and absent six weeks?

It’s a big blow for Chelsea. Thiago Silva, released in the 19th minute of the match lost to Tottenham (2-0) on Sunday, is suffering from a left knee injury. “CT scan results (past Monday) confirmed that Thiago’s knee ligament was damaged. He will now work with the club’s medical service during his recovery to return as soon as possible.“, explained the Blues.

The club does not indicate the duration of Thiago Silva’s unavailability, while the British press evokes a six-week absence. The 38-year-old Brazilian extended his contract with Chelsea in early February for a year. This absence is bad because the Blues will receive Dortmund on March 7 on behalf of the knockout stages of the C1. In the first leg, Chelsea lost in Germany (0-1).
