Chelsea player, Thiago Silva summoned for dope test after Everton game
Chelsea centre-back Thiago Silva was named man of the match after a stellar showing against Everton over the weekend.
The 37-year-old made three interceptions, four clearances, one successful tackle and blocked one shot as Chelsea took all three points at the Goodison Park.
After the game, Silva was however summoned for a drug test, and missed the team’s flight back to London.
The Chelsea defender took to social media to disclose that he missed the Blues’ flight back to London as he was called in for a drug test, and subsequently had to take a three-and-a-half hour drive back home.
Football.london journalist Adam Newson wrote on Twitter: “Thiago Silva missed the team flight back after yesterday’s game as he was chosen for doping testing.
“Guess that is what happens when you drop a man-of-the-match performance a month shy of your 38th birthday.”
Chelsea’s next game is a home game against Tottenham on Sunday, 14th.
