Silva revealed he had convinced Willian to return to Chelsea during his time at Arsenal.

“Before he returned to Corinthians, I tried to persuade him to come back (at Chelsea), but unfortunately things didn’t work out, it didn’t work.”
“I know he is a very important player. In the first game of the game (against Fulham) he scored against us. He’s had a great performance against Fulham so hopefully he won’t be able to play on Friday.
“I said at half-time that we needed to play seriously. The start of our game was good. seriously intense This team is clear in what they are doing. We really believe in ourselves.” said Silva.
