POTTER HOPES LEADER SILVA CAN BE PART OF HIS LONG-TERM PLANS
Evening Standard
|October 11, 2022
THIAGO SILVA is now 38, but he remains one of the first names on the Chelsea team sheet.
The age-defying Brazilian has been a leader in defence for Frank Lampard, Thomas Tuchel and now Graham Potter.
Tonight, he is set to make his 100th Champions League appearance, as Chelsea bid to take a big step towards qualification for the knockout stage when they play AC Milan.
Silva was outstanding against his former club in last week's 3-0 win at Stamford Bridge, and he will continue to play a key role for Chelsea this season.
Summer signing Wesley Fofana has been ruled out for a "few weeks" after injuring his knee against Milan, and Kalidou Koulibaly is still adjusting to life at Chelsea.
It means the role of Silva could be crucial to Potter, who wants to tie down the veteran centre-back to a new contract that will take him close to his 40th birthday.
His current deal expires at the end of the season, and Potter said ahead of tonight's game at the San Siro: "He has been incredibly impressive on and off the pitch. As a leader, he is a top professional and a top person, so he has been a joy to work with.
