Chelsea star Ben Chilwell was spotted taking a break from his injury rehab, as he watched the LA Lakers defeat the LA Clippers on Wednesday night.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Chilwell, 26, has been out of action with a hamstring injury and recently travelled LA as part of his injury rehabilitation programme.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Chelsea boss Mauricio Pochettino confirmed that the defender needed a ‘change in scenario’ in order to boost his recovery and it’s safe to say he’s found that.\u00a0<\/p>\n
On Wednesday, the defender was seen courtside at the Crypto.com Arena as the LA Lakers took on the LA Clippers in a fiercely contested game.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The 26-year-old, pictured with a friend, wore a casual outfit – a Beavis and Butt-Head inspired T-shirt and a pair of jeans – as he watched on from the sidelines.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Chilwell also took to Instagram to share a video from courtside and showed the Lakers on the attack.\u00a0<\/p>\n
On the night, the Lakers took their record to 3-2 for the season after recording a 130-125 win over the Clippers after overtime.\u00a0<\/p>\n
NBA legend Lebron James put up 35 points, 12 rebounds, seven assists as the hosts recorded the narrow win over their city-rivals.\u00a0<\/p>\n
It was enough to earn his team the win, despite the best efforts of Kawhi Leonard who recorded 38 points, six rebounds and five assists.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Chilwell has been staying in Los Angeles as he steps up his recovery from a hamstring injury sustained in September.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n
Pochettino revealed that a change of scene was\u00a0 always part of ‘the plan’ as the full-back rehabs a hamstring injury that is set to keep him out until December.<\/p>\n
‘The plan was to change the scenario for him,’ Pochettino added.\u00a0<\/p>\n
‘That happens in different clubs. When it’s a long period of recovery, sometimes we change the scenarios for them.<\/p>\n
‘Twelve hours here every day, it’s a fantastic training ground, but sometimes the player needs to change the atmosphere and the scenario to keep their recovery in a good way. It’s still difficult to know when he will be back.’<\/p>\n
