Chelsea boss Mauricio Pochettino says Ben Chilwell's current position is only temporary.

The left-back was played in attack for defeat at home to Nottingham Forest a fortnight ago.

Pochettino explained: “Ben is a full-back, I know, but he can help the team in different positions.

“I think in the animation of the team that Ben Chilwell created more chances than any other player. I think in the national team Ben played in a similar position."

On injuries to Carney Chukwuemeka and Christopher Nkunku, he also said: “All the coaching staff feel disappointed when you lose players and, of course, it affects the team as they were two players in our plan.

“We need to accept it and adapt — That's why sometimes we changed and tried players in different positions to try to get the best balance."
