Ben Chilwell laughed at Moises Caicedo after Chelsea’s new boy looked rather shy as he entered the Blues’ ice pool.
In a video posted to his Instagram story, Chilwell pointed the camera at the 21-year-old as he stood up shivering in the chilly recovery pool.

Chelsea’s next game, where Caicedo could take his Blues bow, is at West Ham on August 20.
