Trevoh Chalobah admits he suffered with anxiety when breaking into the Chelsea first team last year

Chelsea defender Trevoh Chalobah has admitted he suffered with anxiety when he broke into the Blues first team.

Chalobah, 23, made his debut for Thomas Tuchel's side last season and went on to appear 30 times in all competitions for the club.

He had to bide his time before making his debut, with Chalobah having spent three successive campaigns out on loan at Ipswich, Huddersfield and Lorient prior to last season.

It was a breakthrough campaign for the defender who has continued his good form into this season.

He has played the last seven games in all competitions for Graham Potter's side and his performances have made him an outside bet for Gareth Southgate's England squad for next month's World Cup.
