'It’s been a difficult time for me, setback after setback': Chalobah on injury woes and return to the side

Trevoh Chalobah has opened up on his return to the Chelsea side against Leeds in the FA Cup after a long spell on the sidelines due to injury.

"It’s been a difficult time for me," he said after the game. "It is the first time in my career I’ve been out for this long and having setback after setback.

"I managed to keep myself focused on the road ahead and have managed to get here after a long few months of rehab.

"It was good to get 90 minutes, that was my first since pre-season in July. So I’m over the moon right now."

Chalobah was not at his best in the win over Leeds but given he hasn't been involved since last season, it is understandable that he would take some time to settle in.
