And the Daily Telegraph’s Matt Law has confirmed Chilwell is set to undergo surgery this week.
Boss Thomas Tuchel previously said the club would treat the injury ‘conservatively’.
He said: “he decision is to treat it conservatively.
“The next six weeks will tell the story if he makes it and will be fully available within this six weeks, or after the six weeks or needs surgery after that.
“Now I only care about the six weeks. The first reaction of his body is very positive. Hopefully, it stays like this.
“This is the decision after all the examinations and it is a very responsible decision, there is no rush in it and no pressure. This is a reasonable way to do it so all the focus is on the next six weeks.”
