Chilwell pulled up with a hamstring problem during injury time as Chelsea defeated Dinamo Zagreb in the Champions League. And the Blues have now confirmed that the Englishman has suffered a significant injury that means he will not be able to feature in Qatar. The left-back has endured dreadful luck with injuries over recent seasons, having ruptured his ACL last term. He will have to sit out this winter's tournament after a scan confirmed the full extent of the injury he suffered. "Following the injury sustained in our recent game against Dinamo Zagreb, Ben has undergone a scan on his hamstring," Chelsea said in a statement released on Saturday. "Results show that Ben has suffered a significant injury and the defender is unfortunately expected to miss the World Cup. Ben will now begin a rehabilitation programme with the club's medical department." Chilwell released his own statement after the news broke, lamenting the fact he would not be able to fulfil his dream of playing at a World Cup. He insisted he will try to return to fitness as soon as possible, though it is likely he will not play until the new year. HAVE YOUR SAY! Who should go to the World Cup in Ben Chilwell's place?
