Chelsea boss Thomas Tuchel is delighted counting on Thiago Silva.
Given the amount of injuries within the Chelsea squad, Thiago Silva, who is 37-years-old, has perhaps had to play more than he expected to at the start of the season.
"He is happy to do so. He plays in a protected role in the middle of a back three so he is not exposed to the maximum intensity of the match," Tuchel said of the Brazilian.
"That suits him and he is a good fit so still, of course, the problem starts with injuries and covid in the same positions.
"In the moment, Trevoh [Chalobah] comes back, Andreas [Christensen] is there, [Cesar] Azpilicueta can also play in a back-three so this is not the area where we are too concerned.
"We have even the personnel to rotate if we think Thiago needs a break. The concern is in central midfield and up front."
