‘Heard him scream’ - gruesome details as Trevoh Chalobah had penis stitched up after Liverpool final

Thomas Tuchel revealed that Chelsea's dressing room was turned into a makeshift surgery theatre after the Carabao Cup final - with Trevoh Chalobah requiring his penis to be stitched up.

The Blues defender was on the end of a late challenge from Liverpool midfielder Naby Keita during the second half of Sunday's Wembley encounter.

Chalobah carried on playing following treatment and scored a penalty during the Reds’ 11-10 shootout victory.

The former Ipswich Town and Huddersfield Town loanee had to receive medical attention to his nether regions after the game.

What’s been said

Tuchel revealed that he heard Chalobah scream due to the pain he was in.

Speaking to reporters, the Stamford Bridge boss said: “I would say he has shown some balls – but that would be the wrong line!

“I could not believe what I saw after the match. There was surgery literally in our dressing room and I am not joking.

“They were stitching him up. I could not believe it. After the match, after the press conference when I left they were doing the stitches, I just heard him scream. It looked horrible.

“I went in and saw it, it looked horrible and I could not believe he played one more minute with this kind of injury but he played the rest of the match and scored a penalty in the shootout.

“This is really big. But he was really brave to do this. You could not look away. They had surgery, there were stitches there. He was the only one with the doctors and I heard the noise.

“Seriously, it was a proper cut, very close to the area of the groin. It was open and it needed to be closed. He was very tough and he has my full respect.”
