Chelsea coach, Thomas Tuchel has hinted that defender, Trevoh Chalobah, may have forced his way into the Blues’ plans for this season following his ‘strong’ performance against Villarreal in the UEFA Super Cup final on Wednesday night.
Chalobah was impressive in Chelsea’s backline and played the full match as the Premier League giants defeated Villarreal in penalties in the UEFA Super Cup in Belfast.
“Absolutely, that is why he [Chalobah] played,” Tuchel said at his post-match press conference.
“Trevoh was first in training, the very first in training and is physically strong and deserved to play by his performances so far and again today he was very strong.

“He never lost face and stayed calm and was physical enough to play 120 minutes. It was quite impressive.
“He forced his way into our thinking. Let us see how it goes. We still have some days to decide his personal future, but at the moment, he shows his value to the team.”
