Chelsea fullback Ben Chilwell confident he's avoided serious injury

Chelsea fullback Ben Chilwell is confident he's avoided serious injury in their 0-0 draw with Tottenham.

The England left-back received lengthy treatment on the field after turning his ankle, but was able to shake off the issue and see out Sunday's Premier League stalemate.

And the 23-year-old conceded he endured a nervy few minutes after receiving his ankle blow on Sunday.

“I was desperate to carry on and thankfully I ran it off," said Chilwell.

“It's fine now so I'm just looking forward to recovering and hopefully playing again in midweek."
